Obama Beats Justin Bieber for Most Popular Tweet of All Time

The President beat more than his Republican rival, he also took down Justin Bieber.

Bieber Fever has been swept into the dustbin of history.

In just 22 minutes, President Obama's Nov. 6 re-election tweet trounced pop star Justin Bieber's former record for most shared tweet of all time. Obama's tweet now holds the record, by a wide margin, for most retweeted tweet. As of this morning, the post has been shared more than 645,000 times--beating Bieber's old record of more than 200,000.
