Barack Obama's first tweet post-presidency- 'Is this thing still on?'

Obama asked people that he wanted to hear what they were thinking about the road ahead and asked them to share their ideas with him.

Washington, Jan 22: After bidding goodbye to the people of US as the outgoing president, Barack Obama took little time to tweet from his personal account. After Barack Obama handed the official US President Twitter account @POTUS to Donald Trump, he tweeted from his private account: "Is this thing still on?"

Obama, who may have been worried whether his private account was roking or not, tweeted after Trump inauguration: "Hi everybody! Back to the original handle. Is this thing still on? Michelle and I are off on a quick vacation, then we'll get back to work."

He, however, asked people that he wanted to hear what they were thinking about the road ahead and asked them to share their ideas with him.

Hi everybody! Back to the original handle. Is this thing still on? Michelle and I are off on a quick vacation, then we’ll get back to work.
