RT @khennessey: POTUS going to answer Qs on fiscal cliff on Twitter today at 2pm, says Jay Carney

Josh Lederman (@joshledermanAP) December 03, 2012Once again, the hashtag stops here. President Obama is holding a Twitter chat this afternoon.
President Obama to hold Twitter town hall this afternoon.—
Anthony De Rosa (@AntDeRosa) December 03, 2012
There is some confusion over which (failed) hashtag will be used.
Have questions for President @BarackObama about middle class tax cuts? Go ahead and ask him at 2pm! Use hashtag #My2k—
Jessica Hewkin (@jessicaellen11) December 03, 2012
To send questions to President Obama use #WHChat—
Anthony De Rosa (@AntDeRosa) December 03, 2012
At 2ET today, President Obama will answer questions on @twitter about extending middle class tax cuts. Ask with #My2k—
Jon Carson (@JonCarson44) December 03, 2012
So Obama personally tweeted "Ask with #My2k" then reporters say to submit questions with #WHchat. Thanks for the confusion.—
Zach Green (@140elect) December 03, 2012
D’oh! Tweeting, like leading, is hard.
Either way, the hilarity will surely ensue as both hashtags are taken over. Again.
@KatiePavlich Obama to address the fiscal cliff via Twitter. I think Boehner should hit him with another "you can't be serious".—

who will get more twitter Qs about legalizing weed? potus or the pope?—
Sam Youngman (@samyoungman) December 03, 2012
This will end well. RT @markknoller: Pres Obama to take tax cut questions via Twitter at 2PM. Questions to #My2k—
DiploMatt (@mdrache) December 03, 2012
And, hijack alert!
Probably a good idea to hit #WHchat & #My2k & in force at 2pm eastern. #tcot #tlot #teaparty #Gop #RonPaul #Benghazi—

I don't want #My2K. I want #mygovt to #balancethebudget

How in the world is it a 'tax cut' if no taxes go down, but some go up? #my2k #p2—
Kevin Eder (@keder) December 03, 2012
Obama is taking tax cut questions at 2 pm EST (1 pm CST) from the #My2K hashtag. Flood it. #tcot—
Chase Lindley (@chaselindley) December 03, 2012
if #WHChat isn't the funniest hashtag of all time by, like, 1:30, shut this whole thing down please, it has failed—
John Herrman (@jwherrman) December 03, 2012
Oh, both hashtags will fail … for the president.
We predict that the hilarity, however, will be epic. Keep it coming, Twitter!
Update:
Obama’s hard at work on his laptop:

And the hijacking is fully, officially underway!
Mr. President, easy question: Will raising tax rates on small businesses create one job? #WHChat #My2k—
Rory Cooper (@rorycooper) December 03, 2012
Dear @WhiteHouse, can you explain how raising an additional $80 Billion per year will fix a 1.1 Trillion dollar deficit? Thanks! #My2K—
RB (@RBPundit) December 03, 2012
#My2K #WHchat Isn't the last debt ceiling rise the reason we're in this mess?And now POTUS wants ALL control of debt ceiling,seriously?!—
Mommasaurus009★ (@mommasaurus009) December 03, 2012
@BarackObama Mr. President, Why not place more emphasis on reducing government spending, than on raising revenues? #My2K #WHChat—
David Osteen (@davidosteen) December 03, 2012
$16,000,000,000,000 and rising at the fastest pace on record. WTF @WhiteHouse? #my2k #p2—
Kevin Eder (@keder) December 03, 2012
Over 3 years without a budget. Shouldn't we address spending before asking Americans to pay more? #my2k—
(@FreedomWorks) December 03, 2012
#My2K: Mr. President, how can your "$2K" provide just compensation to Americans that have been fired because of your #Obamacare?—
Adam Baldwin (@adamsbaldwin) December 03, 2012
-BO
Why won't you negotiate #MY2K on
………CSPAN…….??????
We want transparency…not tweets!!
#WHChat

Dear @WhiteHouse, in what alternate universe is 2% of the population paying over half of all income taxes "not fair?" #My2K—
RB (@RBPundit) December 03, 2012
Or in the backyard grill? #ObamaAteADog #My2K
RT @AntDeRosa: @WhiteHouse Is Bo on Facebook?—
(@GayPatriot) December 03, 2012
All great questions. And all too inconvenient to be answered by our very busy and important president.
No one really expects @whitehouse to take a question that *doesn't* support their marketing push, do they? #my2k—
Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) December 03, 2012
Meanwhile, if we’ve learned anything from this little chat session, it’s that President Obama definitely needs Twitter supervision:
Obama just told everyone to "tweet your Member." heh hehhehheheeheheheehehehe. #my2K—
RB (@RBPundit) December 03, 2012
Yep. He totally did:
Gotta go. Thx. Keep pressure on Congress. Call, email, tweet your Member & tell them what 2k means to you. Lets get it done. #my2k -bo—
The White House (@whitehouse) December 03, 2012
Yeesh.
Update:
Once again, the White House offers pathetic “proof” that Obama was totally doing stuff. All on his own!

OK, so maybe not all on his own. Presidential tweeting: It takes a village.
