White House promises that First Lady will respond to citizens' questions on Twitter & Facebook...UPDATE, Oct. 14: Mrs. Obama answers questions via video
The White House announced this morning on Twitter and on the blog that First Lady Obama will be answering questions about her Let's Move! campaign on the @LetsMove account, and on Facebook, and at White House.gov.
"Do you have a question about Let's Move!, the First Lady's initiative to end childhood obesity?" wrote Sara Bernard. "Ask it on WhiteHouse.gov, Facebook or on Twitter with the hashtag #AskMichelle and the First Lady will answer a few in the coming days."
No time frame was given for Mrs. Obama's response.
Mrs. Obama will host the first-ever Let's Move! Tweetup tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct. 5th, during the third annual Fall Harvest of her Kitchen Garden. Fifteen people have been selected to participate. Unlike President Obama, Mrs. Obama does not have her own Twitter account. The @LetsMove account is written by staffers. The account has 13,855 followers. Update: 17 people participated.
