In another sign o’ the times, President Barack Obama finally has his own Twitter account.

Launched this a.m., the Twitter-verse quickly took to @POTUS, with many people delighted that they, albeit quite briefly, had more followers than the most powerful man in the world, according to Wired.

Obama now has, as of this writing, 430,000 followers.
Here are some great reactions to Obama’s tweet, including one from Michelle:
