Barack Obama wants you to text him and tell him how you're doing and it's definitely not a scam to harvest phone numbers

It’s a difficult time to be an American. We need a hug, y’all!

This isn’t quite that hug, but it’s about as close as you can get to one:

All right, let's try something new. If you’re in the United States, send me a text at 773-365-9687 — I want to hear how you're doing, what's on your mind, and how you're planning on voting this year.

I'll be in touch from time to time to share what's on my mind, too. pic.twitter.com/NX91bSqbtG

If you REALLY think this is Obama and not a scam to bank phone numbers…

This is BS data collecting… Obama won't read a single one of these texts. And people are dumb enough to fall for this nonsense?

For what it’s worth, if you want legitimate texts from a legitimate source, you can’t do better than this:
