The few leaders who are experimenting with it are doing so on the heels of then-candidate Obama's great success in building his grass roots organization and fundraising support base. It looked easy, but obviously it's not. Additionally, most, if not almost all, are not accustomed to the aggressive media give-and-take seen in western democracies, much less from the public at large.The irony is that the amateurish effort at censuring negative comments ended up creating a greater reputation hit than if they had left them. This reflects both the cultural proclivities of the President's communications operation as well as a lack of fundamental understanding of how social media works.
