Social Media and President's Day

What if social media existed during Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Hiroshima, the Cuban Missile Crisis? What would have been written in the first tweets and Facebook posts?

As we honor President's Day we can ponder how much the world has changed because of lightning fast communication. Would Presidents during the aforementioned eras benefit from social media...or was it advantageous to have a delay in news reporting?

For better or worse, the President should embrace social media because the world has embraced it. "When the people lead...the leaders will follow."

JFK relied on communicating his message through the evening news. As the evening news dinosaur dies a slow death, we now hear from our leaders where and when we want to hear from them!
