Got questions for Obama? Tweet 'em now
msnbc.com ^ | July 5, 2011 | Nidhi Subbaraman

Starting at 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, President Obama will hold the first ever "Twitter Town Hall," to discuss jobs and the economy. The president will be speaking, not tweeting, but his questions will come from Twitter.

Thousands of Tweets are already populating the #AskObama hashtag created for the event. But the White House says Obama will also answer questions that are asked on Twitter while the event is going on.

Twitter will monitor hot tweets — those that have the most Retweets, Favorites, and Replies. Also, with help from visualization company Mass Relevance, Twitter will be mapping the big themes and locations that are "driving" the conversation.

Got questions for Obama?

You always talk about the rich paying 'their fair share.' When will the 45% of people who pay no taxes start paying their fair share?

According to your administration dropping bombs on civilians in Libya is not 'hostilities' but a cyber attack on the United States is an act of war. Can you please explain that?

You received the Nobel Peace Prize and we now engaged in fighting in six sountries. If they give you the Nobel Prize for Physics will you nuke someone?

If blowing money like a drunk in Vegas is the best way to financial success why isn't John Daly the richest man in the world?

"the White House says Obama will also answer have AG Holder investigate all conservatives who dare to ask hard questions that are asked on Twitter while the event is going on."

Mr President, in your opinion, what would you say is the primary, fundamental flaw in the concept of collectivism?

"The primary flaw? Um...well...er...uh...the Republicans are opposed to economic and social justice....and - and the Constitution doesn't provide positive rights."

Searching AskObama on Twitter, not a lot of positive comments or questions.
