Users hoping to send the President a note will need to head to Facebook.com/WhiteHouse or find the White House on the Messenger app to start a thread with the President's new chat bot. After a fun fact ("The President reads ten of these messages every night."), you'll be asked to enter your message, confirm the text and then add your contact information. If you're lucky, your message will get make it into the President's batch of ten must-reads, just don't try hitting him up on BBM.
