Are There Better Ways to Talk to A President?

President Obama was, as he says in the video above, the first President to live tweet. The stats are in, and there were 169,395 #AskObama tweets, with jobs (23 percent), the budget (18 percent), taxes (18 percent), and education (11 percent) coming in as the top topics. TIME magazine and Politico offer some analysis of how things went. But CNN asks the question: “Is Twitter really the best way to talk to a president?”

The President definitely got a lot of attention from the event, and was able to use that platform to talk about his record and his plans with the election looming.
