President Bush visited Facebook's headquarters today to host a Facebook Live event. He is on a tour promoting his book/memoir "Decision Points". For the users of Facebook Live, they will be able to ask Bush questions. It is unclear who will be moderating the questions being asked by the users. This is the first president to be featured on Facebook Live. The former president has been using the site since June 2010, by his Facebook page. A former Bush white house now a facebook general counsel Ted Ullyot asked a question at his CEO Mark Zuckerberg. While the president was largely unpopular in the liberal bay area, there was evidence of a small group of protesters outside the headquarters. Although Bush's reception inside was was warm and enthusiastic. One facebook employee Matt Wolocyzn found him "effortlessly charming".
