President Barack Obama Has A Facebook Page And He's Calling Action On Climate Change

Obama Is Finally On Facebook And He's Already Using It To Make Some Massive Statements
|

Fact 1: President Obama finally has a Facebook page.

Fact 2: The White House garden is actually a national park.

While obviously the last one is the most important, it is the first that has taken hold the most recently.

The page has all the big things backdated - his birth, marriage and political highlights (y'know the whole president thing) - but his first new post is all about Climate Change.

"I hope you'll join me in speaking out on climate change and educating your friends about why this issue is so important," Obama wrote on his Facebook Monday. "At a time when nearly three in four adults online use Facebook, this feels like a great place to do it."

Obama is a late-joiner to Facebook having launched a personal Twitter account back in May, which broke the Guinness world record Monday for the "fastest time to reach 1 million followers on Twitter".

His Facebook page is growing at a slightly more sedate pace with 580,448 likes (and rising).
