This evening President Obama made a speech about this thoughts about Syria. About five minutes before the speech I decided to jump on Twitter to see if anyone was already tweeting about it. There were some making the announcement that his speech was only minutes away. Then the President started to talk and twitter started to blow up. I checked Facebook once, but didn't see any Syria talk on it, so I stuck with Twitter. I am against a military strike on Syria, so I wanted to see what everyone else was saying about it.
There were tons of new tweets every few seconds throughout his speech. Here are a few interesting comments.
Most people were rather negative towards his speech and didn't agree with his points. Though I did see a few (very few) people that fully supported the actions and claims he was making.
Though he is great at giving speeches, he didn't change my thoughts towards what he wants to do in Syria. Nor did Social media. Social media is definitely great for spreading ideas fast and getting people to talk about just about anything going on in the world.
