US President, Barack Obama is now on Twitter.
Obama used his first tweet from his new account to explain that it had taken six years for him to be allowed to tweet in a personal capacity.

Obama has tweeted under the @BarackObama Twitter handle managed by his campaign staff, signing off Tweets '- BO.' if he wrote them personally.
But in a Twitter statement soon after, the White House confirmed that the new personal account "@POTUS" was indeed the president himself.

Within half an hour of joining Twitter, Obama had over 125,000 followers, within an hour that number had doubled.
