President Barack Obama sent his first ever tweet on Monday on behalf of the American Red Cross's support of disaster relief in Haiti.

Though Obama utilized Twitter during his campaign effort, he supposedly had never actually sent a "tweet" himself.

It's fitting this would all happen on MLK Day.  First, he becomes the first black president.  Then, he becomes the first black president to tweet while in office.  What a historic moment.

Next up on the chopping block: Becoming the first president to ever download a Lady GaGa album on Rhapsody, becoming the first president to play FarmVille while in office, and becoming the first president to order 50 pizzas to the Senate Minority Leader's house via PapaJohns.com.
