# @POTUS

Bleiben wir bei [Weltpolitik](https://eay.cc/2015/putins-action-hero-how-steven-seagal-became-the-kremlins-unlikeliest-envoy/): Barack Obama ist neuerdings Twitter-Nutzer, was wiederum diese lustige Rückfrage seitens Bill Clinton zur Folge hatte:

> Hello, Twitter! It's Barack. Really! Six years in, they're finally giving me my own account.
>
> — President Obama (@POTUS) [May 18, 2015](https://twitter.com/POTUS/status/600324682190053376)

> Welcome to [@Twitter](https://twitter.com/twitter), [@POTUS](https://twitter.com/POTUS)! One question: Does that username stay with the office? [#askingforafriend](https://twitter.com/hashtag/askingforafriend?src=hash)

Und _was_ macht unsere Kanzlerin derweil? Twitter- und Arbeitsverweigerung…

**Update, 20.05.2015:** Allerdings solltet ihr euch zwei Mal überlegen, ob ihr @POTUS antwittert oder erwähnen wollt, wie [die Washington Post berichtet](http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-intersect/wp/2015/05/19/uh-you-probably-dont-want-to-tweet-to-potus-actually/):

> Not only does the Secret Service already monitor Twitter for threats, but the White House is archiving each and every thing @POTUS tweeters say.
