The event was the latest example of efforts by the Obama team to replicate its creative use of the internet during the election campaign. "This is an experiment, but its also an exciting opportunity for me to look at a computer and get a snapshot of what Americans across the country care about," the president declares, adding, "So, America, what do you want to know about the economy? Just go to Whitehouse.gov and ask." The trial run of Open for Questions in the White House wrapped up with more than 3,606,000 total votes, and the President answering several of the most popular questions. Impressive indeed.
