Social Media On The Hunt For Sasha Obama's Twitter Account After President Admits She Tweets
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) -- Does President Barack Obama's youngest daughter tweet?
Sasha Obama is the talk of social media after her father disclosed that she uses Twitter.
President Barack Obama was poking fun at Donald Trump during a rally for Hillary Clinton when he said that tweeting doesn't make someone prepared to be president. He quipped, "Sasha tweets, but she doesn't think that she thereby should be sitting behind the desk."
Obviously, Twitter freaked out and had some fun with the news.
