Just one problem: the relief site is apparently down. One Twitter user says it hasn’t worked for days:
@nycmayorsoffice website hasnt been working for me the last 2 days…help? i want to sign up!!
— Katie(@marathonwiner) November 2, 2012
Others used the tweet as an opportunity to vent about the NYC Marathon, which many New York residents say should be canceled:
@nycmayorsoffice I’m sure there are thousands of runners who would be happy to volunteer instead of using valuable city resources. #marathon
— AW (@TisteAndii) November 2, 2012
@nycmayorsoffice Can you please as Mayor Bloomberg to cancel the marathon on Sunday!There are people without food, shelter, power etc!
— ❤ (@LVLY808) November 2, 2012
@nycmayorsoffice stop the marathon and send the generators, water, food and city workers to help the ones needing help.
— campnmug (@campnmug) November 2, 2012
Dear @nycmayorsoffice, please cancel the NYC Marathon. There are now thousands petitioning.

As Twitchy reported earlier, the conservative grassroots movement on Twitter is getting under President Obama’s super thin skin. The hashtag #Obamacampaigninonetweet immediately sprang up. But, wait! There’s even more. No rest for happy warriors when the incessantly whiny just keep shrieking.
Wahmbulance not getting any rest today! MT @charliespiering Obama just complained about Romney's Twitter campaign==>http://t.co/AstCNKms

More from the Washington Examiner.
President Obama isn’t happy with Mitt Romney’s attacks against him on Twitter. During his fundraiser in Baltimore today, the president complained about “the other side” and their campaign tactics against his economic message.
“(T)he other side feels that its enough for them to just sit back and say, ‘Things aren’t as good as they should be and it’s Obama’s fault.’” Obama said, according to the pool report. “And, you can pretty much put their campaign on, on a tweet and have some characters to spare.”
The GOP came through with a rapid response.
Quick response. RT @GOP 140 characters can barely contain the amount @BarackObama has added to the national debt in just 3 years.
— Mike Memoli (@mikememoli) June 12, 2012
And Twitter users once again followed up with some Teachable Moments. A second hashtag was inspired: #Characterstospare. Oh, our aching sides! Of course, our sides aren’t aching as much as Obama’s huge and unwarranted ego is, evidently.
40 straight months of unemployment above 8%… #characterstospare

Double giggle-snorts! Melanie Roussell of the DNC pitifully tries to make a funny and hijack the hashtag.
Romney slogan: "The owner of the Miami Dolphins & the New York Jets—both owners are friends of mine." #Characterstospare
— Melanie Roussell (@MelanieOMB) June 12, 2012
Bless her heart! She’ll never learn either. Here is a tip for you, Melanie: President Obama is whining because y’all constantly fail at Twitter. Conservatives, on the other hand, are full of win on Twitter. Try to keep up.
Update:
Win for Ari Fleischer.
Obama attacks 1992 James Carville who famously said, "It's the economy, stupid." That was a tweet, before there were tweets.

For the sake of argument, let’s agree with Media Matters’ Eric Boehlert for the moment that Peggy Noonan counts as a conservative pundit, albeit one who claimed that conservatives secretly thanked her for consistently slamming the Romney campaign. If that’s the case, Noonan in retrospect is one of the few who got it right, opining back in mid-September:
What should Mitt Romney do now? He should peer deep into the abyss. He should look straight into the heart of darkness where lies a Republican defeat in a year the Republican presidential candidate almost couldn’t lose. He should imagine what it will mean for the country, for a great political philosophy, conservatism, for his party and, last, for himself. He must look down unblinkingly.
And then he needs to snap out of it, and move.
Nevertheless, Boehlert isn’t happy that Noonan isn’t paying the price for being wrong. Her reward, if you can call it that? Being invited back to “Face the Nation” and “This Week.” The Guardian’s Glenn Greenwald wonders if a self-imposed time-out isn’t in order.
@ericboehlert @peggynoonannyc They don’t even take a two-week humility break – they’re right, back more pompous & self-absorbed than ever.
— Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) November 24, 2012
A two-week humility break sounds wonderful. If Barack “I Won” Obama can do it, certainly Peggy Noonan can as well.
You start to understand why EVERY conserv pundit claimed Romney wound win; they knew they’d pay Zero price professionally for botching call
— Eric Boehlert (@EricBoehlert) November 24, 2012
Think abt it: yr ONE job as pundit during election year is to analyze the race. virtually every GOP pundit got it wrong. consequence? none
— Eric Boehlert (@EricBoehlert) November 24, 2012
We’re not sure what consequences are in order. The networks are free to hire and fire as they please, and some fresh blood might invigorate the debate, much as Tea Party candidates have done for the Republican party. But please, let’s not mistake cheerleading for Obama as serious punditry either. Yes, many conservatives were wrong about Romney’s chances of winning, but the Obama administration has been wrong about, well, just about everything. Will the media step up and cover those consequences during a second Obama term?
