Obama was wrong when he told the crowd that 44. Did I suddenly devolve into Valleywag, there? I may have. It didnt take long for Barack Obama to make the first mistake of his presidency, the wire service wrote. You see, he’s currently dating the sister of Nancy Ettinger of Savor Soup House. One other piece of random trivia? Jeffrey has another Portland connection. Oh that’s right, you’re not on Twitter are you Ron?” “Wow Wyden! Are you getting any tweets? My Twitter stream is totally quiet. Who knows if Jeff Merkley even knows about it. Too bad for Jeffrey to have to deal with this onslaught. And hopefully it’s not happening to anyone else. Hopefully, for Jeffrey’s sake and the sake of the Oregon constituents who are attempting to contact their senator via Twitter, this issue will be resolved soon. But-and granted I’m a little rusty on the civics-aren’t there only 100 senators? Couldn’t someone have checked this? Maybe double checked to make sure all the names were valid senators? And what’s more, has Jeff Merkley ever gone by “Jeffrey”? Ever? Now, I could understand if this was for all of congress. Yep, he’s been receiving all sorts of healthcare related tweets intended for Jeff Merkley. And that lucky someone? Jeffrey Kalmikoff- on Twitter-the Chief Creative Officer at skinn圜orp, the folks behind the awesomeness that is Threadless. Yeah, see that space there? That means that instead of Jeff Merkley, someone entirely different gets bombarded with tweets about the nations healthcare. David Plouffe, Obama's campaign manager, used the word in a presentation he gave at the University of Delaware on. many responded by criticizing the president for the major faux pas. It seems the misuse of the word goes further back than that Obama faux pas. Like instead of using you could choose something like Merkley. Obama is caught taking a selfie with foreign dignitaries at Mandela's memorial service. Well, you could completely butcher Oregon Freshman Senator Jeff Merkley’s Twitter name.
Get people to use Twitter to contact their senators-by randomly selecting one of their state senators with the push of a button. If you want to drive a piece of legislation forward, what better way than marshaling the troops to contact their respective senators? Good old fashioned politicking there.īut what if you could use social media to do some of that. Now, conceptually, it seems like a good idea. When a technical glitch seems to have Obama healthcare proponents from Oregon spamming Jeffrey Kalmikoff of Threadless with misdirected tweets intended for Oregon Senator Jeff Merkley. Many-myself included-were in awe of the Obama campaign’s mastery of social media-and the potential it held for the presidency. Facebook, Portland-fueled iPhone apps, Twitter, the whole shooting match. Now, it’s no secret that the Barack Obama campaign did a phenomenal job with social media.
