Deficit, Debt and Economy the Focus as Obama Takes Questions in Twitter Town Hall

A popular social networking site that has infiltrated the nation made its way inside the White House Wednesday as the president took questions during a Twitter Forum in the East Room. Twitter cofounder and executive chairman Jack Dorsey moderated the event where the president answered selected questions from users by way of so-called "curators" who filtered the tweets.

Questions on jobs, the economy and debt ceiling negotiations started off the town hall with the first questioner asking Obama what mistakes he has made in handling the economic downturn and how he would have done things differently.
