English term or phrase: Obama sucks
The biggest mistake new twitterers make is to launch a feed, use it as a place to vent random or low-content thoughts (examples include “Obama sucks,” “I’ve lost my socks,” and “Am eating a piece of gristly chicken, right now!”), and then wonder why no one’s paying attention.
