Just days after launching his 2012 reelection campaign, President Obama is making yet another successful push for social media in the White House. He recently announced plans to host an open town hall meeting via Facebook on April 20. The meeting – which will feature Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg – will focus on the nation’s economy and budget.
While the actual event will take place at the sites’ headquarters in Palo Alto, California, the president will answer user-generated questions livestream for anyone logged onto Facebook. The digital gathering aims to connect the president with “Americans across the country to discuss ways to “put our economy on a more responsible fiscal path,” the White House Facebook page reads.
Facebook will be choosing user questions for the meeting so if there’s something you’re dying to ask the president, now’s your chance — just click here to submit a question or comment for the event.
Obama Calls GOP Budget ‘radical, Not Courageous’
When it comes to energy, immigaration, deficit, math, science, invest in infrastructure we got a lot more work to do. If we get frustrated and cynical about democracy, we need to come together and help. He can’t do it by himself. We’ve gotten alot done, healthcare, clean energy, DADT overturned, 2 women on teh SCOTUS, let’s keep working folks! The young folks keep pushing and shoving to keep things going.
Thank you, Mr. President! Tee hee, a facebook sweatshirt
Please tell me who else is going to sit on a stool and speak about the issuses with common sense like our president? The rest of his party ***LOOKING@CONGRESS** needs to be taking notes and following suit. They need to be holding town halls and breaking down this common sense information to their consituents.
The GOVERNMENT alone can’t do it. Smart people in Silcon Valley, but he’s frustrated because folks say they can’t get work. EDUCATION, SCIENCE, MATH, TECHNOLOGY!!!
The President said he can’t do it alone….Did the whiners hear that?
Who gives a fuck about Paul Ryan. He’s a plant, but ask the question. Folks aren’t buying what the blue-eyed devil is tryna sell.
President Obama: Paul Ryan is shortsighted!
The POTUS was raised by his mother and grandparents and lived off food stamps. His grandparents got theri SS and had medicare too. PAUL RYAN USED HIS DADDY’S SS BENEFITS AFTER he died. TELL IT.
The GOP are short-sighted. POTUS is a long-term strategist.
OMG POTUS said black & hispanic! The sky is falling! LOL
LMAO!
Take that Brad Watson in TX! This is why the POTUS goes on the road and in front of REAL PEOPLE, not made up mannequins like you, who can’t contain their disdain for the black president, sit still and let him answer your questions
Say it again!
Brad Watson must didn’t get any home training? Parents teach this in the home.
Not everyone should buy a home, some folks are renters, and that’s ok. Buy what you can afford.
One cannot live above their means. It’s common sense!
Tee hee, the POTUS is speaking of, by and to AMERICA, jobs, homes, schools, education, the auto industry, which by the way, he helped revive. I can’t take it, he’s just too,… too, patriotic, too, too American! LOL

GASP! The GOP’s head just exploded!
LMAO I wanna see every single one of the GOP’s BIRF certificate.
Tee hee hee, Mark doesn’t mind paying more taxes.
Mr. Mega bucks! $$$$$$$$$$
Bring on the infrastructure and jobs. Spending cuts alone won’t relieve the deficit. We have to invest in inovation, infrastructure and jobs.
BWA HA HA OH, OH! POTUS using the ‘V’ word. NOT VAGINA, like the GOP
VOUCHERS!!!! Come to think of it, the GOP love their “Vs” Vaginas and Vouchers for seniors.
Here we go, folks! Here he comes..
Break IT DOWN for’em, Mr. President. A decade of destruction by the GOP, and citizens who spent beyond their means.
