In a move to recollect young forces for its reelection Barack Obama made a campaign-style visit to the social networking company Facebook. Democrats believe that the US President will need again the same forces who supported him in his elections.

With his visit to Facebook headquarters Obama sought to connect to tens of millions of people who have adopted social media as a prime method of communications.

"My name is Barack Obama and I'm the guy who got Mark to wear a jacket and tie," the president said, to laughter, at the beginning of a live-streamed town hall event with Zuckerberg.

Mark Zuckerberg was dressed in jeans, sneakers and a tie, and Obama, dressed in a business suit, then took off their jackets before the president started fielding questions about how to reduce the budget deficit, which is projected to hit $1.4 trillion this fiscal year.

Promoting his plan of spending cuts and tax increases for the wealthiest Americans, Obama told the rich Facebook founder that both of them would have to pay more taxes to help out.

"I'm cool with that," Zuckerberg said.
