Facebook Obama-rama

Big news in Facebookland, President Obama is now the first politician to have 10 million fans.  Riveting stuff, I know.  However, this little tid bit made the national news today.  And although they found this to be exciting on the news, they are also disappointed.  Yes, Obama has 10 million more friends than most Facebookers but he doesn't have more fans than Lady Gaga.  A congratulations is in order for the Lady being she is the first person to hit the 10 million mark.

While 10 million is an impressive number (to those of you who care about having Facebook friends), 11 million is even more impressive.  Lady Gaga has surpased the Pres by 1,200,000 friends.  But don't worry in the race for Facebook popularity, President Obama is still beating Vin Diesel 400,000.

Sometimes I can't believe this is the stuff I actually write about.  I'm pretty sure the President has bigger concerns than how many people he is friends with on Facebook. However, his Facebook page is by a group that is part of the Democratic National Committee.  I guess we will see how many friends he has when it's time to vote again.
