Meanwhile, even though we’re not US voters, our hats are off to the President and his team for being agile, using third party web services and trying to be as engaged as possible with his constituents. We love that he’s done an AMA on Reddit, that his team uses Twitter, Facebook and Instagram regularly, and we’re seriously proud they now use Mixlr too.

Hardly.
They do maintain some sort of vain presence, so as to appease the college crowd that make use of large amounts of social media, but no actual debate or interesting conversation has been inspired by it.
The AMA on Reddit in particular was one of the most pathetic PR stunts I've witnessed in a while. A few generic responses to mundane and chauvinistic questions. But, since his campaign team ended up referencing the "NOT BAD" meme, Reddit swallowed it all up with gusto.
It was sad to watch.
