Obama PAC, Organizing for Action, Following Porn Company on Twitter
In a possible embarrassing situation for President Obama, the Political action committee that was created during his re-election campaign was discovered to be following a porn company on Twitter.
"This account is run by Organizing for Action staff," says the official @barackobama handle, which follows more than 660,000 accounts on the network.
The account, which is not run by the president, was found to have been following Wicked Pictures, the company responsible for producing Nadya "Octoman" Suleman's solo video.

Comedian Pat House is thought to be the first to uncover the news and even posted the Twitter screenshot for anyone who thought this was too funny to be true.
Organizing for Action, the nonprofit created from President Barack Obama's campaign organization, Organizing for America, has been attracting a lot of flak recently from pundits. They are criticizing it for what is largely seen as its failure to help the president forward his agenda on major social issues like gun control and immigration reform.
"Contrary to its promise, Organizing for Action has not launched any major effort to rally the forces needed to win the immigration reform and gun control fights. One is left with a perplexing question: for what action is the OFA organizing?" asked Pablo Eisenberg, senior fellow at the Georgetown Public Policy Institute in a recent Huffington Post op-ed.
In his withering critique of OFA, Eisenberg argued that so far, the grassroots flavored organization made up of former White House operatives have failed to live up to expectations.
"They haven't, as one might have expected, convened any conferences or workshops for nonprofits to enlist them as soldiers in the battle for gun control. Nor, as far as we know, have they reached out to individual groups to gain their support for such an initiative," he said.
