The President’s Twitter account is getting a new Social Media Manager and his name is Barack Obama

“If you’re President of the United States, you’ve probably got bigger fish to fry than worrying about writing 140-character updates online. Obama, though, will finally start regularly tweeting from his Twitter account. If you thought the man himself had been doing the work himself this whole time, don’t be surprised: His staff has been handling the account for quite a while now. The President’s reelection team announced on his personal website that the most-wired head of state will be taking a slightly more hands-on approach in the future. Obama’s personal tweets will be signed affectionately with the initials “-BO” appended to the end of each message.” – TIME

And what was his first tweet?

“Being a father is sometimes my hardest but always my most rewarding job. Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. –BO”
