That’s the hashtag for a White House town hall to take place on July 6. President Obama will answer questions submitted via Twitter on a live webcast.
Here, I have some questions.
-
What percentage of the questions using this tag will be legit as opposed to people making fun of the whole idea?
-
Given the zillions of users on Twitter vs. the number of questions you could get time to answer, isn’t this all a bit of a charade?
-
I mean, come on, right?
-
Won’t the questions be vetted for how closely they stick to points you already wanted to make?
-
If somebody has a really ridiculous Twitter name – SquirrelBoy75 or HotMamaSmokyPants – will you PLEASE read that as part of the question? Because that would be funny.
