Politics: Why doesn’t Obama use Twitter? Clumsy fingers.
- Well, first of all, let me say that I have never used Twitter. My thumbs are too clumsy to type in things on the phone.
- President Barack Obama • Discussing at a town hall with a bunch of Chinese students in Shanghai why he doesn’t use Twitter. He goes further into a larger dialogue on free speech, though, explaining that although information flows a little too freely for his taste sometimes (a lot of criticism comes with it), he really appreciates how it “makes our democracy stronger and it makes me a better leader because it forces me to hear opinions that I don’t want to hear.” Nice save, bro. • source
