Though he's had a Twitter account since 2007, in the months leading up to the 2012 election, President Obama will begin sending his very own tweets, not just those written by his staff.
Are personal tweets a good use of Obama's time?
The big news: the president himself will be tweeting on occasion, according to TechCrunch. Each presidential tweet will be signed "-BO."
To this point, Obama's White House staff has been posting for him to @BarackObama. He's joked in the past about having never tweeted, but that will soon change.
Also notable is that the President's 2012 campaign staff will start managing his Twitter and Facebook accounts, effective immediately, rather than the White House staff.

+24this man has no mind of his own, some 20 something idiot told him to do this,, what a loser,, this is not what a prez needs to be doing,, their are millions out of work, not that he cares,,,,, now I have to send the army out to mess with him on twitter,, what a dumb ass move
He was believable.
But we learned the hard way that most often, it's best not to have faith in our leaders. Not to bother. We found out he was all talk, like the rest of them (except for a few senators such as Durbin). And he wants to run for re-election? While we still believe in the same ideals as we did when we elected him, we stopped believing in him long ago.
He can tweet all he wants, he's all talk anyway.
The Democratic party is sure to lose this coming election if they decide to go with him again.
of those he will electronically answer them. He is far too busy playing BBall and golf to spend time personally answering incidental nonsense.
"quite honestly, if you're going to have to come up with solutions for complicated situations you have to be at your maximum focus... that can't happen if you're wondering on what to say in your next twitter."
that is your own post. so why are you running from it.
You can misquote me as much as you want, but I didn't say it.
All I said - if you like you like it, if you don't it's your own freaking problem - is that if you want to be serious about being President of the United States you don't go and tweet about everything. You don't go and tweet as President of the United States.
Whatever he says on Twitter can be used by the press as motives for distraction from the real issues that matter.
When I referred distraction, I referred as in generating sources of distraction - in this case for the press - not as being distracted. That's what I meant with distraction.
Got it now? Or do you need some more explaining?
libby i agree there are alot like yourself that is distracted easily. as for myself i am more the capable of reading a tweet and undersanding that when the president tweets, he is either in support of something or is against it, mostly on a political ideology. and just so you know a large number of congress already tweets and that staff already in the white house tweets. and so far none of them seem to have been distracted from doign their jobs or from those of us with brains from being distracted.
oh got it on your first post. if only you would not run from what you say.
just to clarify things, I am not Liberal, I am not an Ignorant - you ought to be thinking about yourself when you wrote that one - and I am not running from my post.
I would not feel in anyway distracted while tweeting and I would not feel distracted if Obama tweeted.
But I know the media would feel distracted. You forget that politians are politians, do you really think Obama is going to tell us anything about why he's done this or that?
Think again, he WONT!
All that would be good for is DISTRACTING the MEDIA from what is really important.
A distraction CNN, MSNBC and their likes would welcome.
as for obama you failed to prove he would be distracted by tweeting,
enjoy you undistracted life
Everyone is so interest in what sarah palin say in her E-mails, but no one wants to know
president of the United states is talking to, WHY?
I believe he should have never had a blackberry phone, it should have been done the old fashion way, maybe our country would be doing better.
