Obama's Twitter Town Hall Meeting

During the deficit reduction debate, President Obama led the first Town Hall meeting on Twitter. He was the first president to live tweet. He said he did this to involve Americans and ask them to share their opinions regarding how to best reduce the deficit. President Obama also answered certain questions that people posted on Twitter. This is one of the big advantages that came with the new social media. Americans can now share their opinions with politicians easier and faster than ever. I think it made politicians more accessible to the American public.
