How does one have only three tweets in his account and have over 1.55 M followers (1.57 M as we are writing this.)
Well, it is definitely possible if you are the President of the USA. Finally, Barack Obama has his official Twitter account @POTUS.
George Bush, The First Lady and Bill Clinton besides the White House official accounts are among the 65 accounts the US President is following. Interestingly, Indian Prime Minister-cum-friend Narendra Modi is not on the list.
Hello, Twitter! It’s Barack. Really! Six years in, they’re finally giving me my own account.

Good question, @billclinton. The handle comes with the house. Know anyone interested in @FLOTUS?

One of Obama’s followers and an old hand at Twitter, National Conference president Omar Abdullah had this to say:
Some of us take years to scrape our way to a few hundred thousand followers here & along comes some chap called @POTUS – 700k with 1 tweet.
