President Obama has had a presence on Twitter for years as @BarackObama, which has nearly 60 million followers but has the feel of a feed run by the PR team and interns.

The White House began an attempt to give it a human touch Monday morning with @POTUS, Obama's own Twitter account, which piled up hundreds of thousands of followers in just the first couple of hours.

Among the 65 follows so far, there are a pair of former presidents, three colleges Obama attended and a host of government departments and officials. The only four follows that don't fit into one of those categories?

The current commander in chief, like his predecessor, George W. Bush, has never been shy about his love of sports. And the MLB team from Chicago's South Side, where Obama began his political career, is certainly appreciative of the love.

Notice anything missing from the above list, though? Every Windy City team from the Big Four sports is represented but one. And you had better believe they noticed.

As presidential candidate Barack Obama back in summer 2008, the world's most famous White Sox fan did an interview with ESPN where he characterized the fans at Wrigley Field as those who go to the ballpark just to have a good time, and weren't serious fans.

"You go to Wrigley Field, you have a beer, beautiful people up there," Obama told Stuart Scott. "People aren't watching the game. It's not serious. White Sox, that's baseball."

As candidate and as president -- on the trail or on Twitter -- at least he is consistent when it comes to his feeling toward the Cubs.
