White House To Hold Regular Twitter "Office Hours" With Senior Staff

The White House has begun holding “Office Hours” with its senior staff on Twitter, answering the public’s questions daily in 140 characters or less.

Announced Tuesday on the White House blog, these Office Hours are meant to offer a platform for the public to engage senior staff on a number of issues important to them. This week, the Office Hours are centered around President Obama’s speech and the ongoing debate over the deficit.
