It’s official: Michelle Obama has joined Twitter! Now we don’t know about you, but we’re dying to see what kind of tweets she starts sending (we’re also hoping they’re a cute/funny as her hubby’s).

The Daily Beast reports that FLOTUS, the office of the First Lady of the United States, joined the social networking website this morning (American time) and send the first tweet at 8.35am.

Mrs Obama already has over 12,000 followers and the number is growing by the minute.

Michelle’s hubby, President Barack Obama, regularly logs on to Twitter to send messages and live-tweet from the oval office. He’s also a fan of posting ridiculously cute pictures of himself and Michelle. Exhibit A:

President Obama posted this picture with the caption: “four more years” on Twitter

It looks as though Michelle has finally jumped onto the Twitter bandwagon. We wonder if she’ll become an obsessive-tweeter?
