The White House uses Twitter to connect with people around the country and keep our followers up-to-date on the latest news from President Obama and his Administration. From the President's first-ever Twitter Town Hall held at the White House to launching the Twitter Q&A series "Office Hours," we're continually looking for new ways to connect with the public and answer their questions. We use Twitter, along with other social media sites including Instagram, Google+, and Tumblr, to engage with citizens on issues from the economy to health care. For an inside look at the latest from the White House, you can follow all of our Twitter accounts here.

To celebrate reaching 5 million followers, we’ve put together a list of @WhiteHouse highlights from President Obama's second term.
