Whatever Ben Chinn feels like laying on you |
Obama’s White House has employed the internet in ways not imagined by previous administrations. It’s too early to tell if this will be effective but one thing is for sure: Obama knows how to talk about what he’s doing. Check out his video clip explaining his “Open for Questions” project. It’s clear what he’s doing and why and doesn’t get caught up in the technical process of making it happen. “We’re going to take advantage of the internet to bring all of you to the White House to talk about the economy”. This one sentence sums up the project stating its goal by using a metaphor that everybody can understand. He could have said “We will leverage technology to provide personal input to public policy decisions”. But he didn’t – that’s one reason he gets to work in a round room.
