Bill Clinton Joins Twitter For Real This Time

Former President Bill Clinton officially joined millions of other Twitter users Wednesday night, tweeting from the handle @BillClinton

While comedian and television host Stephen Colbert previously got Clinton to tweet under the handle @PrezBillyJeff, this account, which is verified, will be the forty-second president's actual home on Twitter.

Among Clinton's first tweets under the new account was a message to Colbert saying he's getting Twitter lessons from his daughter Chelsea, who has more than 128,000 followers on her @ChelseaClinton account.
