Obama joins Instagram

Instagram announced last night that the latest Instagrammer to join the photo-sharing / filtering network was in fact the Prez himself:

“We’re excited to welcome President Obama to Instagram! We look forward to seeing how President Obama uses Instagram to give folks a visual sense of what happens in the everyday life of the President of the United States. In addition to sharing photos through the @barackobama Instagram account, the Obama 2012 staff is asking supporters to share their photos from the campaign trail with the tag #obama2012.”
