(85,996 posts)...that one doesn't deserve furthering at all. There will always be offensive tweets, but we can choose what we focus on and not give the hateful ones any more exposure than they've managed.
the other one. It's worse than I expected.. it's so sad there are people like that.
When I saw POTUS was on Twitter.. I thought oh boy.. now he can see all the grumblings first hand.. but I thought nothing like that.
Agreed, Thank you bigtree!

(29,322 posts)Former Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton broadcast their unlikely bromance on social media Tuesday when Clinton posted a picture of himself reading Bushs new book.

George W. Bush Says Bill Clinton Is His Brother From Another Mother
Clintons #HowAreYouStillNotOnTwitter hashtag is a reference to his Presidents Day tweet this year, which ribbed the younger Bush for not having an account. This time, Bush responded. He posted Clintons tweet on Instagram with the caption, Thanks, 42! Hope you like the book about your pal, #41. #HowAreYouSTILLNotOnInstagram #PresidentialGrammers #BrotherFromAnotherMother.
This is not the first public display of affection between the two former presidents. Clinton often refers to himself as the black sheep son of the Bush family, and Bush challenged Clinton to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge earlier this year. Their bipartisan friendship is all the more remarkable given that Clinton beat Bushs father, President George H. W. Bush, in the 1992 election, ousting Bush Sr. after only one term in office.

Only posting because this was the very first thing I thought of. Personally, it is harmless and not even mildly amusing when they trying to be but is this future of Post Presidency?

Maybe this will be the first step in having Obama join the Marvel Cinematic Universe with a cameo in Captain America: Civil War. After all, just about everyone else is in that movie.

Common sense says Bill Clinton does not ask Obama real questions in public on twitter unless the stuff is planned out in advance.
