Barack Obama is now on Instagram, and he's not that good at it so far

Barack Obama has taken over the White House's Instagram feed and will be sharing photos of his trip to Alaska for the next few days.

The President announced his foray into Instagramming with the following message:

That accompanied this rather boring first Instagram pic:

Obama is in Alaska meeting with other world leaders about climate change, as well as getting a crash course in survival technique from adventurer Bear Grylls .

Hopefully the President's Instagram skills will improve over the visit as he gets some pointers from his staff on picture composition and filter usage.
