President Obama shakes hands with Justin Bieber during Christmas in Washington, 2011. (Wire Image)
A photo of President Barack Obama hugging first lady Michelle Obama tweeted
by the Obama campaign on election night has been retweeted nearly half a
million times, likely making it the most shared tweet of all time. The
tweet--issued shortly before Obama was projected by several networks to
be the winner of Ohio--included the image under the caption, "Four more
years."
Obama tweet breaks record
According to AllTwitter.com, the
most popular Twitter message before Tuesday was a tweet by Justin Bieber
for Avalanna Routh, a six-year-old fan of the pop star who died of
cancer.
"RIP Avalanna," Bieber wrote on Sept. 12."i love you."
While President Obama's Twitter
feed technically now holds the most popular tweet of all-time, Obama
himself does not. Personal tweets from the president are signed "-bo,"
like the tweet, published several minutes before the photo, thanking his
supporters. It read: "We're all in this together. That's how we campaigned, and that's who we are. Thank you. -bo"
That tweet was retweeted more than 141,000 times.
