Please join me online at theoaklandpress.com at 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 6 for a live chat about President Barack Obama’s Twitter Town Hall meeting.

If should be definitely interesting. The President will take questions via Twitter and answer them verbally.

During the meeting you will be able to discuss with me how the town hall session is going. Do you like what he is saying? Do you think he is gaining any more public support, etc.? It will be a very open format on The Oakland Press website. You can chat questions and/or comments. I’ll respond and give you some insights of my own.
The President’s Twitter account has 2.25 million followers. We can’t come close to that, although the Oakland Press does have over 5,300 and I have about 815.
Getting a question through the President will be probably harder than winning the lottery. Your chances are much better with getting a message to a staffer at The Oakland Press — and we’ll appreciate it more!
To join the chat, go online to theoaklandpress.com and click on the news section and look for the story about the President’s Twitter town meeting.

While White House has regularly communicated via Twitter, this is the first Twitter town hall. It may be a big bust but we’re going to look in and follow it and we hope you will too.
