Is this for real? Who runs his account? RT @BarackObama: Big congratulations to all #OFAfellows starting today. Let's get to it.

@BarackObama is the totally nonpartisan Twitter account for Organizing for Action. It just happens to bear President Obama’s name and image, but remember, the organization is completely “non-political” when it offers seminars on “campaign issue management.”

Nothing to see here. Move along.
OFA is welcoming new “fellows” today with a series of icebreakers, training sessions and other cult initiations … like speed dating:

Umm…isn't #OFAfellows rather sexist? What would #Julia say about this tag?
— John LaRosa (@jslconsulting) June 8, 2013
Heh. Julia wouldn’t say much. She has no mouth — just how the Dems like their womenfolk.
#OFAfellows reminds me of Hugo Chavez' Bolivarian Circles. Extra-governmental enforcers in training. So creepy.

They chose the name #OFAfellows because #ObamaYouth didn't poll well.

Blogger @SooperMexican offers a hilarious play-by-play of what the #OFAfellows are up to.

So what kind of seminars and training sessions are the new initiates enjoying today? Conservatives take their best guesses:
