Just for kicks, we took the transcript from Obama’s Twitter Townhall and then removed Jack Dorsey’s questions and all the side notes (Laughter, Applause, THE PRESIDENT, etc).

The total number of words used by President Obama in his answers was about 8,519 — or roughly 38,703 characters.

Translation, at 140 characters each, that’s the equivalent of about 276.5 tweets.  At 20 questions, that’s approximately 1,935 characters per question – which is slightly over the character limit.

Taking the transcript a step further, we created a word cloud based off of the President’s remarks. Popular words included, going, make, think and people.

Words that did not make an appearance: Biden, Tiffanys, Moose Hunting, Titliest and Charlie Sheen.
