After the second presidential debate, Barack Obama’s own Twitter account launched the self-congratulatory and “Dewey Defeats Truman”-like #ObamaWinsDebate hashtag, which conservatives promptly hijacked. Monday night’s participation ribbon equivalent arrived in the form of #ProudOfObama.
Barack's steady leadership has made us stronger and safer than we were four years ago. That was clear tonight. –mo #ProudOfObama

If you’ve got the President’s back after tonight’s debate, add your name: http://t.co/dK9gMlBa #ProudOfObama

Jim Messina: "Tonight America saw its commander in chief and someone who’s not ready to be commander in chief." #ProudOfObama

As usual, it didn’t take long for conservatives who are proud of America (and not just since Obama was nominated) to hijack that hashtag.
Is anybody else creeped out that the libs needed to launch #ProudOfObama to self-soothe & lick the wounds of the…Leader of the Free World?

Very #ProudofObama for publicly saying nice things about Israel tonight. Must be news to Netanyahu that Obama thinks they're so close!

I'm #ProudOfObama for attacking Mitt tonight. It tells me his internal polling showed he was in trouble. Mitt stayed away tells me the same.
