If there is one thing that both political parties can agree upon when it comes to President Barack Obama, it is that he has utilized technology to his advantage. Be it his use of the internet for fundraising, or his weekly YouTube addresses, Obama's success as a politician has been made possible by the medium as well as the message. Continuing in this vein, the president will conduct a virtual town hall meeting tomorrow. Here's how WhiteHouse.gov describes the cyber-happening:

The White House is inviting hyou to post your questions on the economy and vote on submissions from others. The president will answer some of the most popular in an online town hall on Thursday.

On a related note, Obama's face-to-face prime time presser last night was the second of his two-month old tenure in office. George W. Bush and Bill Clinton each had four such Q and A sessions over their eight years in office. I wonder whether we'll remember how many virtual town hall meetings Obama had after his run as president is through.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
