Obama’s Response to Ellen’s Record-Setting Oscars Tweet

TO ELLEN BACK DEPT.

Ellen DeGeneres took a break from hosting the Oscars last night to snap an all-star selfie with (amongst others) Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Kevin Spacey, Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep. In a matter of minutes, the pic broke the record for most retweeted tweet of all time — surpassing the previous title-holder, a shot of the Obamas taken after Barack’s reelection. We know the Prez has his hands full with the whole Ukraine situation — but he didn’t take this defeat lying down, and quickly assembled his own posse to reclaim the title.
