OMG It's OMB

The habitually businesslike Office of Management and Budget joined the Twitter generation today. An announcement from its press officers said, "We deal with a lot of big numbers in our daily work here at OMB, but now we will start focusing on a small one: 140."

After an inaugural tweet announcing the new account, the OMBers proceeded directly to tweets that deal not with dry numbers or management directives but rhetorical licks from the Obama administration on the continuing debate over raising the debt ceiling.

Get a taste here.
