President Barack Obama is no stranger to Twitter; he held his first Town Hall on the microblogging network, at the White House, complete with Master of Ceremonies Jack Dorsey, just under a year ago.

But that was easy -- Obama got as much time and space as he wanted to answer the questions posed on Twitter. How about the president replying in tweet form, in real time?

Thursday, with his reelection campaign getting into gear, Obama decided to respond to a few questions via Twitter while in Iowa -- and this time, it was his fingers on the keys.

The Q&A session just ended, so check out what the President had to say in our Storify below. How do you think Obama did with a 140-character limit? Did he get his points across effectively, or use way too many abbreviations? Let us know in the comments.
