        @WSJ Is he's also responsible for the highest level of smartphone purchases in presidential history? What an idiotic statistic. #msnbctools!

        @WSJ could it simply be that more people use Twitter now than four years ago?

        @WSJ that's just grade A journalism you wait until the last sentence to explain the principal that makes the entire point obsolete.

        @WSJ hate, like love, is a very powerful thing. Can we agree we need less tweeting and more reading/engagement regardless of your politics.

        @WSJ "Twitter had a much smaller number of users in 2009." That's it?!!! No data on the growth of Twitter? Your data needs context.

        @WSJ Twitter was not that popular back in 2009 I think.

        @WSJ What does that stat prove knowing that there were a fraction of twitter users then? Wasting time or purposely deceiving?
