It's amazing (disheartening?) to see Twitter evolve from the website where you could tell your friends that you were eating dinner, to a website where the President of the USA makes real policy announcements.
well, theres about the same amount of thought put into either tweet
I dunno, I used to spend a lot of time making my status messages really clever.
Usually I spent at least 30 seconds deciding on where to go to dinner.
Life comes at you fast.
I guess he never fingered a .plan.
