The First Tweet: President Obama’s First "Official" Tweet Is All Father’s Day

President Obama is officially tweeting on his own Twitter account. He started today. The first, first tweet unfolded like this:

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

Indeed I’ve heard that it is, Mr. President, although without any children of my own I cannot confirm or deny. Happy Father’s Day to you and the rest of the dads out there anyway! [President Obama's Twitter]

    I wonder how much he had to pay the squatter who sat on that Twitter account all these years?

    @BarackObama_281 doesn’t have a ring to it I guess…

    …and there I was all set to call BO a tard for not knowing the date of Father’s Day… and I thought I’d better fact check first:

    I never knew that it differed around the world.
