Obama Just Posted His First Facebook Status, And No, It's Not A Meme
President Barack Obama is expanding his social portfolio to Facebook, and yes, he's definitely going to be one of those friends who posts about political stuff all the time.
After joining the Twitterverse earlier this year, POTUS #44 is taking his digital swagger to FB, and his first order of business was a serious one -- but he eased us all into it with talk of wild and sneaky little critters on the White House grounds because skittering foxes and a hawk named Lincoln, you say? Go on.
Ultimately, BO launched in on some real talk about the things he thinks about when he steps into his backyard of seven years a.k.a. the White House lawn.
"A lot of what I do is think about how I want to make sure that the beauty of this particular national park -- but also national parks all across the country and our planet -- are going to be there for Malia, Sasha, their kids, their grandkids for generations to come," he explained.
"Because of American leadership, we've already been able to get 150 countries that represent about 90% of the world's economy and carbon emissions to agree that we need to come together to create that international framework. And we're going to be meeting in Paris in December to try to hammer out that agreement," Obama added.
"I want to make sure the American people are able to enjoy the incredible national parks' incredible beauty, the mountains, the oceans that have been one of the greatest gifts that we've ever received. I want to make sure the whole world is able to pass onto future generations the God-given beauty of this planet."
Appropriately, President Obama's first Facebook cover photo was a candid of himself overlooking some beautiful water scenescape because EARTH ROCKS ?.
On a related note, Obama's timeline of life events is also worthy of point-by-point review.
First, there's his DOB.
The birthers must just love that entry.
Then his wedding date.
An eternal romantic, this one.
Followed by his first political gig.
"It's a power thing!"
Then his senatorial portrait.
Note the striking lack of presidential silver on top.
Here's the historic moment when he became the first black President of the United States.
SWORN IN.
And again ...
Two-term POTUS.
