President Barack Obama’s Re-Election Victory Tweet Now Most Popular of All Time

By ( ) Comments

Welcome to the day after the United States presidential election, folks. In case you weren’t already aware, President Barack Obama will be returning to the White House for four more years of whatever it is you feel the need to say he does. Folks across the varying social media platforms are celebrating, but perhaps none more than the man himself. Obama’s re-election victory tweet, with an attached image of him hugging his wife, has now become the most popular tweet of all time.

More importantly, the previous record was held by Justin Bieber. Okay, maybe not “more importantly,” but it’s certainly noteworthy. In addition to usurping the Biebster, Obama’s re-election helped set a new record high of 327,000 tweets-per-minute. That’s almost triple the record of 116,000 set by the Spice Girls reunion earlier this year.

Here’s the tweet, currently at 658,888 retweets and 223,825 favorites:

It’s simple, but effective. Four more years it is, Mr. President.

    “Most popular Tweet of all time”? Twitter came into being in 2006, SIX YEARS AGO. The Universe is 13-thousand-million years old. The Earth has been in existence for four-thousand-million years. Humans have been around in one form or another for a million years. Larry King was born before the age of television. (Maybe he saw experimental TV at the 1939 World’s Fair in New York).

    What’s your point? It doesn’t disprove the statement.

    When people say “of all time” they mean of all of time which has occurred thus far, most people understand this. Also am I misremembering or have you made this same flame before?

    The universe is ~13.75 billion years old. Earth is ~4.54 billion years old. Modern humans have been around for ~250,000 years.The earliest humans we know of are ~2.33 million years old. I don’t know what this thousand-million-years-old business you speak of is, but I figured as long as we’re nitpicking….

    A billion in the US (it may still be different in the UK) is a thousand-million. So 13 billion is also 13 thousand million.

    Although I haven’t lived 13 billion years, I would say yours is one of the dumbest complaints of all time.

    Wait till around February 14th and radio stations start blaring “the greatest love songs of all time”. No Beethoven, no Schubert, no Tchaikovsky who DID compose the greatest love songs in human history at least. (Yes, composers of symphonies and operas DID ALSO compose love songs, but that’s a subject for another day).

    The above statements are one, debatable and two, irrelevant to the fact that you took issue with a perfectly valid statement.
    Do you honestly view all statements through the widest possible perspective of time, or do you only do it when you don’t feel you can whine enough about the use of genuine hyperboles?
