Obama Starts Personal Facebook Page
- 9 years ago
The leader of the free world now has a personal Facebook page, and more than 45,000 people clicked "like" on it in the first hour it was live on Monday.
It seems unlikely that a man whose daily schedule often includes meetings with world leaders and briefings on national security will have much time to post pictures of his meals or comment on pet photos.
It was the latest foray for the president into social media, following the launch of his @potus Twitter account in June 2013, that now commands about five million followers.
Mr. Obama's new Facebook timeline takes readers through an autobiographical trip down memory lane, from the photograph of his wedding to Michelle Obama in Chicago in 1992 to his 2009 swearing-in ceremony as the 44th president of the United States.
He then invited readers to weigh in with questions and comments about climate change , mentioning that he is on his way to Paris to meet with world leaders on a global agreement.
