Obama creating sensation on Facebook

“By endorsing the Equality Act, the White House sent a strong message that it’s time to put the politics of discrimination behind us once and for all”, Human Rights Campaign president Chad Hunter Griffin said in a statement posted to Facebook. The White House launched the POTUS Facebook page Monday with a video showing Obama giving a tour of his backyard – which, as he points out, is also a national park.

This is the opening scene of the very first video the president posted November 9 on his new personal personal Facebook page, which urged the American people to “get engaged” about the importance of climate change.

Although the president already has an active page in Facebook that is categorized as “Politician”, this time the account is place under “Public Figure” category, implying that it will no longer be run by Obama’s advocacy group but by him personally.

Are you a fan of US President Barack Obama? Then he goes on with sharing his own feelings regarding the need to preserve what he calls “this attractive planet of ours for our kids and grandkids”. Now, we’ve made a lot of progress to cut carbon pollution here at home, and we’re leading the world to take action as well. In the post, the first African American to hold the office can be seen taking walk in the national park which is also colloquially referred as his back yard.

Leaders of the world’s 20 biggest economies, including the United States, China, Japan, Russia, Canada, Australia and Brasil, are to meet next Sunday and Monday in the Turkish sea resort of Antalya to discuss global economic issues.

“If we’re all in this together, I’m confident we can solve this and do right by future generations”, added president. There’s also a disclaimer warning that comments and messages received through the account may be archived.

“We’ve got to keep organizing, we’ve got to keep mobilizing, we’ve got to lift up issues we care about”, he said, sounding less the commander-in-chief he is today than the community organizer he used to be.
