The White House and Obama to hold the first “Twitter Townhall”

The White House has just announced the 1st “Twitter @townhall” with President Obama to take place next week on Wednesday, July 6th. Followers will be able to #AskObama anything about the economy and jobs at askobama.twitter.com. Follow @Townhall to “listen into the conversation.”

Obama has been quite the tech savvy President these days. We caught his first tweet just 11 days ago from the @BarackObama account. Now Obama has 8.7 million Twitter followers and counting! Check out his stats here on Twitter Counter.
