Trying to fulfill his dedication to an "unprecedented" level of openness in government, President Obama today conducted a community-moderated townhall via a live Webcast, emphasizing it as an "experiment."

The third question Obama took (viewable on YouTube) received a total of three votes. Another, a video of three bubbly high school sophomores concerned about higher education, received six.
