President Obama Gives Michael Phelps Two Thumbs Up Via Twitter
He likes Mike!
Barack Obama tweeted his congratulations to Michael Phelps for his record winning 19th Olympic medal.
Here's what the president said:
Congrats to Michael Phelps for breaking the all-time Olympic medal record. You’ve made your country proud. -bo
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) August 1, 2012
Michael Phelps was unable to offer a timely response because of NBC's time delay (ha) but eventually he did answer.
Here's what he said on Twitter:
"Thank you Mr. President!! It's an honor representing the #USA !! The best country in the world!!"
We're going to go ahead and follow the prez's lead, and offer our own congratulations to Michael Phelps!
19 Olympic medals is a crazy feat that will be EXTREMELY tough for anyone to ever top.
We think after his retirement this year, Phelps should pull a Kurt Angle and join the WWE.
Then when he wins a championship match - J.R. Ross can scream, "MICHAEL PHELPS HAS WON THE CHAMPIONSHIP BELT! PHELPS HAS WON THE BELT!!!"
