That’s why, next week, I’ll travel to Austin, Texas, to visit South by Southwest. It’s an annual gathering of some of our most creative thinkers, coders, makers, and entrepreneurs from across the country. And while I’m there, I’m going to ask everyone for ideas and technologies that can help update our government and our democracy to be as modern and dynamic as America itself.
This has been a goal of mine since before I was President. On my campaign in 2008, we saw how technology could bring people together and help them engage as citizens in their own communities. So when I came to the White House, I wanted apply that experience to the federal government. It hasn’t always been easy. And we’ve had some bumps along the way.

Leave it to Caliph Baraq to want to attend an event with a $1645 ticket price. To commune with the “little people”, right?
He blend right in with them dirty hippies
. . . fire your appointees,resign and get out of the way
Most likely he’s hoping someone to invite him for a visit to Hippie Hollow.
And then do the opposite.
Bastard.
Traffic is already messed up enough down here without his clown parade.
I think most people go to SXSW just to party.
Here’s an idea: Congresspeople stay in their own states and districts and vote via phone or skype and away from Washington DC lobbyists....what? That’s not the kind of updated ideas you’re looking for?

OBAMA - 7 years too late. Or, is he helping HILLARY achieve her vision of making America whole again?
1. Strict and highly restrictive term limits, doing away entirely with career politicians.
2. Institute new voting measures to eliminate voter fraud. Combine paper and electronics, with multiple cross-checks and the post-election ability for any citizen to go back and check the numbers and accuracy.
3. Require the federal government to make available quarterly data on all government expenditures and revenues - including independent reports from each and every agency/department, including the ambassadors abroad. This should be available for any citizen to review.
Lucky that austin is so conservative..............oh, wait. Never mind.
Iron fisted totalitarianism - over 10,000 years old
Self rule by the people via republic - A hell of a lot less older...
Gee, obama... Maybe go for the newer system?
I really like this. How can you ‘represent’ a state you don't live in?
Resign would be the best move
Gonna have to ditch the Mom jeans, Barry. Austin is hipsterland. Get your skinny pins into skinny jeans.
