    The comment writer — who has not been identified — picked up on the president's mention of his grandmother and tweeted that:
    "Obamas gma even knew it was going 2 b bad! 'She died 3 days b4 he became president'."

    From KitchenAid:

    I would like to personally apologize to President @BarackObama, his family and everyone on Twitter for the offensive tweet sent earlier. It was carelessly sent in error by a member of our Twitter team who, needless to say, won't be tweeting for us anymore.
    I heard that the WSOP will be hiring him next year to respond to Jon Aguiar's concerns.

    The fact that this is newsworthy is part of what's wrong with this country, having said that I chuckled

    I got to say, I don't see how this is really a story. I would understand if it was a major company or celebrity, but I've never heard of KitchenAid. And now everybody has, so I guess if you want to get your struggling company some national recognition, just make a tasteless joke.
    TRUMP 2024!

    KitchenAid is a big company.

    They make a lot of appliances.

    They now own Whirlpool and Maytag.

    They also have terrible customer service, but that's another story for another time.

    They are a higher end appliance brand. I sell them to some of my wholesale clients and they can be quite pricey for the nicer models of kitchen appliances.

    Technically they are owned by Whirlpool but you are correct that their customer service is horrible. I've found that it's like that with a good bit of the higher end appliance manufacturers i.e. Viking, Sub Zero, etc.

    Oh okay, I didn't realize they sold well-known brands. And I agree about your horrible customer service remark. I will never buy a Whirlpool appliance.

    I just saw their twitter account and it was like 25k followers, and they cheated anyway because they follow almost as many people.
    TRUMP 2024!
