President Obama only just joined Facebook
Good news for President Obama's Klout score: The commander-in-chief launched his very own Facebook page Monday, a mere half year after joining Twitter. His first post is a video about climate change thinly disguised as an opportunity to accompany your newest virtual bud on a quick stroll around the White House's South Lawn.
Obama seems very concerned with making sure the public knows he's a cool dad who will post some "just-for-fun stuff" on the social network — along with the team of about 20 aides tasked with keeping up his daily social media presence, which already included a White House page on Facebook.
