President Obama's first-ever Tweet.

President Obama has just pushed his first tweet. This is how it happened. The president and his wife were visiting the American Red Cross to promote aid to Haiti. He pushed the button on a tweet. Making him the first commander-in-chief to tweet. History was made at the push of a button. Located at @RedCross

CNN has this to say


Aides to former President George W. Bush told CNN that he never published a tweet, and they were happy to crown Obama as the first tweeting President - with a catch.


These are the tweets found on the Red Cross twitter feed


President Obama and the First Lady are here visiting our disaster operation center right now.


President Obama pushed the button on the last tweet. It was his first ever tweet!
