Bill Clinton Now on Twitter as BillClinton
Bill Clinton is on Twitter for reals.
On April 6, comedian Stephen Colbert signed former President Bill Clinton up for a Twitter account @PrezBillyJeff and sent out his first tweet:
Just spent amazing time with Colbert!Is he sane? He is cool! #cgiu
— Bill Clinton (@billclinton) April 6, 2013
Fourteen hours ago, he sent out his second tweet from the account under its new moniker, @BillClinton:
Sorry I couldn’t make it @stephenathome. I’ve been busy with @clintonfdn work on global heath. Thrs is #WorldMalariaDay you know #Raincheck?
— Bill Clinton (@billclinton) April 25, 2013
Followed quickly by this:
Excited to join @chelseaclinton and my good friend @stephenathome on Twitter!
— Bill Clinton (@billclinton) April 25, 2013
Today, his first quasi-substantive tweet:
Congratulations George and Laura on opening @thebushcenter. Proud Hillary and I could be here. twitter.com/billclinton/st…
— Bill Clinton (@billclinton) April 25, 2013
Clinton’s people wisely secured the @PrezBillyJeff name, too, just in case.
