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

Perched on the edge of the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, the President sent his very first tweet from @POTUS -- the official Twitter account of the President of the United States.
The Internet got pretty excited about it. So we pulled together 10 of our favorite replies from Day One of the @POTUS Twitter account.
Take a look -- then follow @POTUS and send a reply of your own. (You can follow more official White House accounts here.)
It's about time, @POTUS! –mo

Barack Obama has his own Twitter account. He hasn’t asked for followers yet because he probably doesn’t want to @POTUS on the spot.
