Barack Obama on Facebook

More than 500 Million people are on Facebook. Of course among them is the current president of the United States. Barack Obama has an authorized account that is run by an organization in his name. His wall is updated with status, videos and comments several times a day. The ordinary facebook user, however, cannot post on his wall or leave him a personal message. Bummer. I wanted to say hi so badly. 

 

 
But the side provides a lot of information about the president. One of the first things a visitor can see is that his religious views are filled in with “Christian”. That should surprise a lot of Americans. Or better: one in five Americans. According to pew research that’s the number of U.S. citizens that think of Obama as a Muslim. Maybe that’s why he wanted to make it clear on facebook. 

He’s not that chatty about his political views though. This information is simply missing. Maybe he just wants to let the pictures speak for themselves. There are 36 photo albums, with one for each month of his time as president. I couldn’t, for the life of me, figure out what was so special about “May 2010”. But more than 8,000 people liked it. And more than 1,200 commented on it. Maybe it was Michelle’s red dress. Who knows?! The best pictures come last: An album entitled: “Old school”, showing a young, handsome Barack. 

For all the information provided – there is one question that remains unanswered by his facebook account. It’s THE most discussed issue right now: Does he or does he not…dye his hair? Maybe that’s worth a post, don't you agree, Mr. President?!
