Country’s problems are too complex for 140 character answers or political slogans

ast week President Barack Obama held his first town hall on Twitter. A really great idea and I plunged in with this question:

"Indian Cntry's unemployment rate is unacceptable. Cutting govt jobs will make this situation far worse. What steps to fix this?” @TrahantReports

A Twitter town hall is a great idea. In theory. This first round revealed three huge problems.

First, the president didn’t play the game. Twitter requires focus, honing and shaping ideas into 140 characters. This is not an easy thing to do, but its very nature changes the conversation. Twitter captures raw essence, not routine answers. The president stuck with routine answers.

2. The problem with doing this on twitter is

that the Repukes are just going to take over again like they did last time. Boner posted something like 50 messages during this "townhall" meeting, Boners not part of the town so why is he allowed to speak?
