It is a new technology and a new communication medium. The impact of a technology on societal changes is slow. Change does not happen overnight. How long did it take for the press to be really free and influence the masses. Technology may be giving us the accelerating return on furthering the technology but it does not accelerate the societal changes. Society and human nature changes slowly.
A day may come when the President will use blogs or some other forms online tool (hey it is a better idea because all Presidents write books. Now they will already have lots of materials and feedbacks by the time they leave the office).
Just give it time. 90% of world poulation even does not know what is social media and you are expecting that it will change the world.

For about six months we were inundated with how the people on the web were getting all involved in trying to help the people and to pressure the government to live up to their promises.
We are now how many years later? and we still have people living in motel rooms, we still have families seperated by great distances, we still have people living in areas of New Orleans that are disaster zones.
What happened to the flood of goodie two shoes - where are they now? .. where is the social pressure on the government to live up to its promises.
I typically use events and social situation with in the US where this whole social media is suppose to have started and I get slammed for picking on to narrow of a focus. Well I tell you want .. until you can effect change on the society on your own city block, within your own state, within your own countries bourders using this so called wonderful social media there is absolutely no point in trying to export it to the rest of the world because you have now "shining" example of how it can work.
