We’re talking about something truly monumental: the release of three never-before-seen Historical Tweets from the near-president himself.

Obama Historical Tweets

@RevWright Sorry, but I have to unfollow you.

Obama Twitter

Visiting troops. Mailed some Iraqi coins to @malia and @sasha. Guess you could say change is coming to America.

Obama Smoking and Twittering

@Marlboro Miss you. Searching everywhere for a Surgeon General who will renounce the slander against you so we can be together again.

AND, special thanks to Twitterstorian TechyDad who submitted this Obama tweet: “Spilled juice on my shirt. Putting on a new one. Now that’s change you can believe in!”

What’s the first thing you do?

Well, Osama Bin Laden got himself a Blackberry and Twittered his BFF Saddam Hussein, who was in a funk because his country got overrun.

Special thanks to Twitter-Historian Brent Schmidt, who uncovered this tweet from recent history!  Create your own using our HT Photoshop template!

Osama Bin Laden Twittering!

@Saddam You’ll get through this and back in power before you know it.  Just hang in there.
