Obama Tweets abouts Pop Culture, Sports, and even Supreme Court Rulings

US President Barack Obama who stepped into the online world of Twitter years ago is now jumping in head-first, tweeting at all hours of the day about pop culture, sports and even Supreme Court rulings.

Although the White House has used Twitter throughout Obama's presidency, until recently it's been a highly scripted endeavor, with press aides composing and releasing tweets about Obama's agenda at strategic times. Only occasionally would Obama post to Twitter himself, identifying a bona fide presidential tweet by appending his initials.

 Obama is now seen composing his own tweets almost daily, weighing in on issues of the day from any location, without the filter of his press office. Earlier this summer he's been tweeting with increased frequency after inaugurating his personal twitter account, @POTUS.

"Hello, Twitter! It's Barack. Really!" Obama wrote in May. "Six years in, they're finally giving me my own account.''
