(CNN) -- Is Twitter really the best way to talk to a president?
Tens of thousands of people submitted questions under the #AskObama Twitter hashtag on Wednesday, hoping the U.S. president would respond to their queries in what was billed as his first-ever Twitter Town Hall.
Of course, when you're president, time is limited. So the event's moderator, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, only was able to ask Obama 18 questions, followed by a few "suggestions" from the Twitter audience after that.
That's 0.045% of all questions that were posed online, according to raw numbers from a group called TwitSprout, which estimates Twitter users posted 40,000 questions for the president, both before and during the Q&A at the White House.
So, odds are, of course, your question didn't get asked -- much less answered.

Is G.A. on vacation this week or did you fire him because all I see is Joe posting???
ReplyDeleteHe answered 18 questions because the other 39,972 questions were all the same, "Mr. President, will you please resign?".
ReplyDeleteIf he did answer your question, it was more than likely a lie.
