President Obama, whom admirers tout as our first social media president — much like Bill Clinton was once touted as our first rock n’ roll president — decided this week that a Town Hall meeting could be micro-blogged.
Put another way, Obama read pithy questions off a screen in front of a press gaggle rather than take lengthy questions from a press gaggle. At least that’s how it looked via livestream.
