As promised, President Obama answered questions posed over Twitter at the “Twitter Town Hall” this week. Many joked that despite exhibiting some technological savvy by interacting with Americans via social media, the President was far beyond the 140-character limit on tweets, with responses averaging 2099 characters. This must have been anticipated when the White House agreed that Obama would receive questions over Twitter but answer those questions verbally. This event was part of the White House’s recent emphasis on social media as a means to connect the President to America’s youth during his 2012 campaign.
