Why lead a nation when you can play games on Twitter instead?
That’s what some people are wondering about President Obama after his Twitter account posted a “fantasy tournament” resembling a line-up of Obama’s favorite sporting event, March Madness.
Only the post wasn’t about basketball.
Who will take home the title of #ChampionDenier? Vote now: http://t.co/hFWKz1uKEf pic.twitter.com/l8TGDshzIg

In an apparent attempt to humiliate those who dare to go against him, Obama’s game is lined with brackets identifying the names of Republicans who he calls “climate deniers.” Participants are to vote for their favorite “denier” who be will crowned “champion” – or something.
Legions of adorning fans, ok, maybe a couple hundred, got on board to play online footsies with the president and sparked the #ChampionDenier thread which, in turn, attracted a whole different kind of crowd.
@BarackObama remember when a President acted like a President and not some marketer who tries to score points by making fun of Americans…

@BarackObama This is a weird thing for the President of the U.S. to tweet.

That’s a solid observation Ashley.
@porscheweaver @BarackObama I completely understand, but the handle is still a reflection of the President and his office. #tiredOfPolitics

Yes, and the tweet was posted multiple times, over a course of two days. No excuses.
@BarackObama @NancyDrewPI You should define “denier”; otherwise this is just inflammatory bullshittery.

.@BarackObama Is there any way you could act like a grown-up for 5 minutes?

So true. And his tweet proves it doesn’t it?

Looks like Obama never should have brought up the term “denier” as there’s plenty of that to go around.
