"President Obama is once again taking to the air waves to promote his economic recovery plan and answer questions from the media, and Web video providers are once again lining up to broadcast it online.  Obama will be preempting American Idol (and other network TV shows) at 8pm ET/5pm PT this evening, while Hulu, CBS, and CNN will all have live broadcasts running on their respective sites for those without access to a television.  \nYou would think the occasion would be a great opportunity for Team Obama to finally send an update to the President\u2019s 550,000+ Twitter followers, but alas, that account remains silent.  The President\u2019s Facebook Page and The White House blog also have no mention of the live streams with just an hour left until show time.\nThis is a lost opportunity, given the increasing number of people choosing to get rid of TV in favor of a mixture of online video services, not to mention the huge distribution the President has on those social sites.  We think it's great that Team Obama is using all of these tools - but a bit more attention to detail by whoever is managing them might be called for here in order to maximize exposure.  \nThe White House is holding an online press conference of sorts on Thursday, however, answering pre-selected questions from users that can be submitted on the WhiteHouse.gov site.\nIn any event, Hulu also offers an embed code for their feed, which comes courtesy of Fox News.  It\u2019s embedded below:\n\n\n \n\nHow would you rate the Obama administration's social media performance so far?  Share your thoughts in the comments."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
