The man who leveraged social media like no other presidential candidate prepares for an exclusive interview with the American people… on YouTube. Close to 140,000 video & text questions were submitted and voted on Youtube.com/askobama – and the most popular of them are to be answered by President Obama in only a few hours.

This is just a remarkable exercise of democracy that empowers American citizens to speak out in front of their number one leader. And the amazing thing is that it all happens live, in the online world. After all, they’re “a nation of Google and Facebook” – as Obama himself said it two days ago. YouTube is added today to the equation.
