Ladies and gentlemen, our 44th president now has a Twitter account! This is not a drill! Six years after taking office and nine years since the beginning of Twitter, our president has joined the rest of the world on social media. Turns out his office decided it's time they let him live a little. So on behalf of all of America on Twitter, welcome Mr. President, to one of the most addictive apps you will ever encounter.
Barack's first tweet was his announcement to the world that he had joined the rest of us. He even added "Really!" to his tweet so that we would all believe him. Not very convincing, but that blue check next to his name sure is.
Following the introductory tweet was a typical politician's tweet about presidential stuff. Doing good, serving the people -- basically, what we assume he does all day. Commander-in-Chief, running the nation, loving Michelle --typical Barack stuff.
Then, his third tweet, and final tweet was a joke to President Clinton. Turns out the old guys on the hill do have a sense of humor (kind of). Of course, Bill was hinting at the fact his wife would be president. Barack, asks him how he feels about the First Lady's Twitter handle. I couldn't tell if he was being passive aggressive or funny. I'll take it as an attempt at humor.
It's not civilian job, like Prince Harry, but it's nice to see President Barack Obama is a pretty normal guy, joining the world of the common people and thirteen year old girls' tumblr rip offs.
Once again, welcome Mr. President. May you enjoy watching videos of cute puppies, reading news reports around the world, and keeping up with what your friends are doing on the weekend. We can only hope your Twitter remains as human as your first three tweets were, but let's be honest -- a politician's Twitter is all politics.
