The same day that President Obama hosted a dinner for Organizing for Action, which has been maintaining the @barackobama and Barack Obama Twitter and Facebook accounts all these years, the president announced that he’s launched his very own Facebook account under the name President Obama.
Oh good, Obama has a brand new Facebook page Josh Earnest just told us about

In his inaugural post, President Obama notes that with nearly 3 out of 4 adults using Facebook, the platform seems like “a place where we can have real conversations about the most important issues facing our country.” And the top issue facing the country, as we all know by now, is climate change. In a video, the president walks casually around his backyard and confesses that preserving “this beautiful planet of ours for our kids and grandkids” is always at the front of his mind.
