Hillary Clinton starts tweeting

Hillary Clinton issued her first tweet on Monday, causing a stir in social media as well as in the political world.

The former secretary of state used her maiden tweet, sent from her new @HillaryClinton account, to cheekily capitalize on the 2012 "Texts from Hillary" Tumblr meme, writing to that site's creators:



Clinton in 2012 met with the "Texts from Hillary" Tumblr's creators and even issued her own submission.

Clinton's new Twitter account for now offers no direct mention of the 2016 presidential bid she is widely assumed to be considering, but she alludes to it in her profile. "Wife, mom, lawyer, women & kids advocate, FLOAR, FLOTUS, US Senator, SecState, author, dog owner, hair icon, pantsuit aficionado, glass ceiling cracker, TBD...," the profile reads. TBD indeed.

1. It's nice to see that she has a sense of humor.

I think Hillary is fairly comfortable in her skin. Many would take offense at something like Texts from Hillary meme if it were about them.

This is cool. She seems to be even using the meme's image on her Twitter account.

I'm looking forward to seeing what she does with this even though I have no current position on a 2016 candidacy.

10. Sadly,

she listed "wife" first...

13. Srsly?

Why does anyone have to be sad about that? Does that somehow diminish the rest of the extensive list? Do you actually think they are in order of importance? Maybe it's just a bit more alliterative.

18. I am not a huge Hillary fan...

But see no problem here. Many fine women are also mothers- fine mothers shape fine children, and excel in a "man's" world at the same time. I come from a long line of such strong women. Beware pissing such women off.

19. I am female and lesbian and would gladly list "wife" as a first thing because I love my

wife!

I have a nice upper middle class job and a lot of other things going for but falling in love with my wife was one of the greatest events of my life (sorry for rhymes).
