just as many douchebags on reddit as on this forum. go figure.
it was an idea, that happened in a flash. any jackass that thinks he is going to answer anything in-depth is a fool. somewhat of a public campaign act-of course. any other potential candidate (and current PRESIDENT) that could pull this off? I don't see Romney trying this...and that's because he didn't think of it.
i honestly don't care one way or the other, but that fact that the Obama team thought of this, and managed to do it somewhat light-hearted is pretty fucking awesome.
bring on the jazx trolls...even though i doubt he would even hate on this event.

REddit? People still go there?
Obama needs to come here.

I would have asked him why his donors are all the same as romney's.
- there is another thread on reddit about that http://www.reddit.co…zaq

I hope Obama goes H.A.M. in his 2nd term, with no reelection to worry about..

sikma, you really expected him to answer those questions?
No politician is going to stick their neck out on these issues when it will kill their election chances. Obama calls for legalizing drugs? Republicans will say, look at the black dope smoker who wants to legalize drugs. Same thing with Cuba...look at communist Obama who wants to be friends with Fidel Castro.
Maybe it's a problem with our media but I don't think there is enough time to educate and change minds on these issues between now and November.

@sikma you seem upset about Obama doing this, I hope the guy gets reelected. No I'm not from the US.
- I love the fact he did this! But it's a bit silly to show up for a AMA and avoid all the tough questions.sikma

Pretty cool story
http://www.washingtonpost.com/bu…
According to Reddit founder Alexis Ohanian, the president is logging on to Reddit from the same city where the company was born in 2005. Ohanian and Steve Huffman met while students at the University of Virginia and officially founded Reddit after graduation.
“I was sitting in [the University of Virginia’s] Alderman Library when I came up with the name 'Reddit,' and I never could've imagined that seven years later, the president of the United States would be using it -- let alone from the same place!” Ohanian told The Post .

President Obama, why didn't you close Guantanamo Bay as you promised you would?
What is the purpose of the embargo on cuba? will you consider lifting it?
What are you going to do in your second term to address the failed war on drugs?
Sir, do you anticipate the SEC convicting anyone for the massive banking and securities fraud that caused the 2008 financial crisis?

- See the great depression. Took 3 presidents and a world war creating many jobs to fix that mess.CygnusZero4
- Fix it? That didn't fix it, it merely created an illusion.Horp
