Per NBC/NJ’s Mike Memoli, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs says this does NOT mean Obama has made his pick -- only that when he does he will announce via text."

Hey, this the internet age; if you read it here, then it must be true.

I heard they cancelled that because he and the Mrs. were the only ones who texted to it.

Is this a ploy to pizz Shrillary off, advertise for Verizon, or, is this version of today's political meanderings?

Attention getting, aimed at the political youth?

He can use the list on election day and remind people to vote. I can see it now...

Hey I just got a text from Obama. He wants us to go vote.
Yeah, maybe later... I'm not leaving the [party, my girl/boy friends house, the mall, etc.]

At a penny per subscriber, the campaign could make a lot of money if all four hundred thousand of his supporters texted to the subscription number so they would get the down low (or is that low down?) from Barry.

Hi Sharon! Hope you are well.
