Gibbs: Twitter blocked on W.H. computers

The White House blocks Twitter, and Press Secretary Robert Gibbs doesn’t seem to know why.

When asked if he Twittered personally, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said that he does not because he cannot access the microblogging site at work.

“For some reason Twitter is blocked on White House computers,” Gibbs told C-SPAN’s Washington Journal on Friday morning.

“I have to say I’m on camera enough that I think people have a decent sense of what I’m doing minus Twittering,” he added.

Gibbs’ comments makes one wonder who is in charge of the White House’s official Twitter (@whitehouse) and Barack Obama’s verified account (@BarackObama).
