Obama's Text Message FAIL

Obama announced his VP in the dead of night AFTER CNN broke the story through a text message system that didn't work properly. FAIL.

My message didn't come through till 4:59 am. I see other people got theirs around 3:20. The text messages were not "instant." It was the same ol' master list dump every other politician/marketer uses that takes two or three hours to cycle through. Maybe the Obama team thought we wouldn't notice because we were all sleeping.

This guy can't even announce his VP smoothly (you know what I am going to say next) How can he run a country?
