President Obama will host the first White House Twitter town hall next week, an event announced today on (of course) Twitter.
On July 6, the president will answer questions tweeted to #AskObama live from the White House via webcast. Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey will moderate, and Twitter will use its own curation methods to choose the questions.
Some portion of the live audience will be drawn from the 2.25 million people who follow @whitehouse — making the event not just a townhall but a ‘Tweetup.’ Those visitors won’t ask in-person questions, but White House Director of New Media Macon Phillips says officials are thinking about “other cool things they can do at the White House.”
Despite their (deserved) reputation for expert use of social media, the Obama team has actually been slow to get into Twitter. Obama only started tweeting on his own account about two weeks ago.

Welcome to short-attention-span theater.
Should we compare Barry to an adolescent refusing to do his homework now and get to work instead of twittering and golfing away the days like he did in his petulant narcissistic speech the other day!?
Twitter Town Hall aka Festival For Twits.
I wonder if they’ll use a teleprompter.....
I for one am glad he is golfing away his days. The guy screws up every thing he touches. I would rather he did that to his clubs.
#ObamaOnTheBackNine is more like it.
A Twitter Town Hall, held by a Twit.
Relax!
Qestions are already provided, distributed to liberats, rehearsed, impostor is going to look soooo smart, rats will vote for him already.
Sorry you skinny fraud...you’ve lost the youth vote. Trying to be KEWL and capture the youth vote again is a little too late. Two years after your “historic” election, these youthful idiots who helped elect your sorry Kenyan A$$ can’t get a job!
Nothing like reality to wake up these little snot nose punks up to the fact that Keynesian economics DOES NOT WORK.
The magic is gone Barry.
But there's a whole batch of new youthful idiots to draw from.

Well sure, there will always be some, but remember, many of these pukes who voted for Obama may have been college Juniors or seniors at the time of the election. This means they knew (and may have influence over) freshmen and sophomores. Youth unemployment is almost 25%. People...even young ones, understand life when it hits them in the pocketbook.
As I said, these young people are now beginning to realize that their idealistic college years, full of collectivism and Keynesian economics is being fully realized, and they DO NOT LIKE IT!
Obama is in serious trouble right now...and he knows it.
Does he tweet with a limp wrist?
A new word is coined: Obfuscatweet.
That's why he's recently been talking about all the unfair college loans... to fool those grads into thinking that he'll eventually forgive their college loans.
A Twit Townhall is more like it.
This could be fun. Since tweets are limited to 120 characters, Obama wouldn’t be able to give his signature long, rambling, off topic non answers.
A twit fest circle jerk?
