Two days later, I received a tweet from one of my followers telling me that I was featured in a 700 Club report. So off I went to dig.<\/p>\n<p>And I found it! It&#8217;s not that Vera Ezimora herself was featured per se, but more like Vera Ezimora&#8217;s tweet about the fiscal cliff appeared in the report that CBN did about how\u00a0<em>Washington<\/em> (that&#8217;s Obama&#8217;s code name, by the way) has invoked social media in the battle against the fiscal cliff. And while showing a series of tweets, they deemed mine fit enough to appear. You&#8217;re welcome, President Obama.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"335\" height=\"195\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cbn.com\/media\/player\/embedplayer.aspx?bcid=2036056879001&#038;width=320&#038;height=180\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now, here&#8217;s the thing though. Considering how <del>anti Liberals and Immigrants<\/del> conservative CBN is, I&#8217;m wondering their real reason for including my tweet in their report: to show that <em>Washington<\/em>\u00a0is really invoking social media for a good cause? Or to show their fellow <del>anti Immigrants and Liberals people<\/del>\u00a0Conservatives that <em>Washington<\/em> is invoking social media to do some bad, bad things to them? Doesn&#8217;t matter anyway.<\/p>\n<p>But, there is a point to this post, and I promise, I&#8217;m getting to it. You see, now that <del>I<\/del> my tweet has been featured on CBN, you know what this means, right? It&#8217;s Vera Ezimora for President 2016!!! Duh. What were you thinking? Move over Hillary Clinton! It&#8217;s Vera to the rescue. I promise not to discuss my binder full of women, and I promise not to mention the 47%. It&#8217;ll be a binder full of men, women, children, and pets &#8230; and a 100% of Americans. Of course!<\/p>\n<p>Something tells me that CBN will endorse me.
