President Barack Obama Has Joined Twitter

President Barack Obama has joined Twitter! The President of the United States has amassed over 1.6 million followers since sending his first tweet last night.

Hello, Twitter! It's Barack. Really! Six years in, they're finally giving me my own account.

His handle is @POTUS (which stands for President of the United States) and his bio reads: “Dad, husband, and 44th President of the United States.” Despite only joining the social media site, he’s already gotten into the swing of things by having the craic with former President Bill Clinton.

Good question, @billclinton. The handle comes with the house. Know anyone interested in @FLOTUS? — President Obama (@POTUS) May 18, 2015
