Bill Clinton Nudges George W. Bush to Join Twitter in Presidents Day Tweet

Jewel Samad/AFP/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — Bill Clinton, who is quickly leaving his predecessors and successors in the dust when it comes to social media, tweeted out a Presidents Day greeting on the social media site Monday afternoon.
In the process, he ribbed former President George W. Bush for his absence on Twitter with the hashtag “#HowAreYouNotOnTwitter?” Bush is the only president since President Reagan not to be on social media.
The younger Bush’s father, President George H.W. Bush, joined in December.
Happy #PresidentsDay – to #44 (@BarackObama), #43 (#HowAreYouNotOnTwitter?), #41 (@GeorgeHWBush), & #39. #PresidentialTweeters
— Bill Clinton (@billclinton) February 17, 2014
President Jimmy Carter, who Clinton referenced as #39, has also skipped social media – at least for now.
So far, none of the other presidents have responded to Clinton’s Presidents Day greetings.
