Politicians Connecting With Young Americans?

President Barack Obama held a YouTube interview on Thursday, January 30, 2011.  It was part of a strategy in which administration officials are directly talking to Americans about  administration policies mentioned during the State of Union Address on Tuesday.  This interview was targeted specifically to “young Amercians.”  In addition, other officials such as Joe Biden held interviews on Yahoo; thus also participating in online discussions.  These discussions include answering questions submitted via FaceBook, which is the well known social network for these “young Americans.”
