Nrsc
The NRSC posted this tweet:

RT @BarackObama My budget failed 0-97 but wait till you see @SenateDems budget -BO http://demsplanforamerica.com

When you click on the URL, you get taken to a blank white page, not a 404 error but an actual webpage that's all white. This means the NRSC bought the domain. I gotta give it to the Republicans. This is the sort of performance art stunt I would do myself. The problem is the tweet falsely attributes Obama's comment to his actual Twitter account via a fraudulent retweet, even going so far as to add his personal "BO" attribution.

That's just dickish and unneccessary. They could have accomplished the same bit with

"We know @BarackObama's budget failed 0-97, but wait till you see what the @SenateDems have to offer [URL]"

Yes, I just offered constructive Twitter advice to the Republican Party. Good lord.

Really. I just had lunch with the president of Georgia. At his palace.
Also joining were Nora Abousteit, Hilary Mason, Saskia Bruysten,
Dionne Fraser, Felix Marquardt and more as part of the Atlantic Dinners
project

We talked about corruption, the nature of political revolutions,
Facebook, the judiciary, micro-finance and more

My life is ridiculous

He was quite rhetorically supportive of Georgia during the 2008 war
with Russia, so they named the road from the airport after him. Yeah.
