President Barack Obama Joins Twitter and Follows Every Chicago Team Except the Cubs

Why did POTUS leave the team out in his following spree?

Hello, Mr. President! Today, President Barack Obama officially joined Twitter.

After six years in office, Obama joked that they were finally allowing him to his own account. No more need for President Obama to sign his tweets "–bo," because this account is all his.

The White House was quick to share an image of Obama seated upon his desk in the Oval Office, writing up his first tweet on his iPhone. Obama's official Twitter bio reads, "Dad, husband, and 44th President of the United States."

The White House released the following statement explaining the new account. "The Potus Twitter account will serve as a new way for President Obama to engage directly with the American people, with tweets coming exclusively from him. President Obama is committed to making his Administration the most open and participatory in history, and @POTUS will give Americans a new venue to engage on the issues that matter most to them."

Obama wasted no time in following his colleagues as well as Chicago sports teams. However, it seems the White-Sox fan is missing one major Chi-town team.

Obama is following the @ChicagoBears, @ChicagoBlackhawks, @ChicagoBulls, and of course the @ChicagoWhiteSox but seems to have conveniently "missed" the follow button for the @ChicagoCubs Twitter account.

The Cubs were quick to notice, firing off a tweet to the president saying "We're big fans of America. Just saying. #YouMissedATeam"

Time will tell if Obama will put his White-Sox pride aside, and give the Cubs a follow.
