Mfarhanonline Social Media News: Appropriately, in a conversation that took place on Twitter , a White House aide said Sunday night that Twitter influenced the recently announced agreement on the U.S. debt ceiling. The tweets were exchanged between Brian Stelter , a reporter at The New York Times , and Dan Pfeiffer , the White House communications director. The House and Senate are expected to vote on the debt ceiling bill Monday. President Obama asked people to tweet at their congressmen Friday to get them to come to an agreement on setting the debt ceiling. He asked that people use the hashtag #compromise, and then his staff spent the day tweeting out the names of Republican legislators from every state. In the process, the @BarackObama account lost 36,000 followers , but this new information indicates it may have been worth it. Members of Congress also took the opportunity Friday to fire back at the president (or echo his sentiments) with their own tweets, as you can see in the gallery below: Rep. Steve Womack, R-AR Rep. Dennis Ross, R-FL Rep. John Shimkus, R-IL Rep. Todd Young, R-IN Sen. Roy Blunt, R-FL Rep. Trent Franks, R-AZ Sen. Rand Paul, R-KY Rep. Tom Rooney, R-FL Rep Patrick McHenry, R-NC Rep. Jim Renacci, R-OH Tweets that mentioned @BarackObama while the #compromise campaign was going on were mostly negative. You can view an assortment of reactions on Twitter in the gallery below. @jimmiebjr @mitchmolstad @davemorin @bccohan @westderbykiwi @matt9383 @marlenejohanna @corierose @ItsLuRock @raysubers @beverlycart @brentteichman More About: Debt Ceiling , obama , twitter For more Social Media coverage: Follow Mfarhanonline Social Media on Twitter Become a Fan on Facebook Subscribe to the Social Media channel Download our free apps for Android , Mac , iPhone and iPad Social Media reviews series maintain by Mayya
