Booooo

Correction: Obama destroyed Reddit.

It couldn't handle the whole nation.

I wonder how he's going to handle the inevitable questions regarding his drug policies, wars, etc.

If you ask the wrong question you get droned.

I lost my big sister to cancer exactly 3 months ago. If it weren't for some of the laws you helped create, she would have left her husband millions of dollars in debt. Because of those laws, she was able to fight it with every possible treatment we could find without worrying about where we would get the money.

Interesting.

Seems to be quite a long gap between the president's Reddit updates. Has someone shown him the 'girls gone bitcoin' thread?

Booooo

"Don't boo -- vote!"  That is, vote him out.  If only the most likely alternative were any better.

It appears that the strategy here is to avoid answering the hard questions.  Those questions are up there and have been skipped while others with fewer upvotes have answers.  I'll keep watching, but I'm not surprised.

Yep, I was wondering how we would dare exposing himself to a fearless, anonymous forum, but this is it -- respond only to easy questions, with platitudes.  For bonus coolness points, make meme references and promise to release the White House beer recipe.

Edit: OK, he has some decently specific answers, but yeah, avoided the real questions.

I bet Obama didn't strike a single key. That was all speech writer fluff.

[Snapman]

NO, You GUYS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH BITCOIN,

OBAMA MADE IT, AND RAN IT, AND HES EVEN SINGLE HANDEDLY KEEPING THE NETWORK AFLOAT WITH HIS HIDDEN ROOM OF MINERS UNDER THE WHITE HOUSE.

EDIT: Same with reddit, obama is allowing the owners to run it....

And that road you guys took to work this morning..... guess who...... Yep, obama made that too....

More Added: just read a few statements from that posting, that douche straight out danced around answering the questions. Love how the 1st "answered" poster used the term "FREEDOM" instead of privacy, makes me think all the questions he did answer came from preapproved co-intel shit pieces.

The REREEdit: I hope you guys arent complete tards and actually know when your getting conned ..... nvm that was foolish for me to assume. For those that know dick about politics, any word that comes out of his month (or typed like in this bullshit pr stunt) comes prewritten (by speechwriters) and preapproved, passed on to mr commander in chief through little plastic digital panels we like to call "teleprompters". He never means what he actually says, somebody just has a decent writer following close by, hell they even have written down when his voice needs to strain or when a tear needs to drop.

Scumbag Obama: Does AMA - answers ten questions

scumbag.memegenerator.net crashes under the pressure of Redditors trying to make scumbag Obama memes.

[Snapman]

I did one better...

"Stop being a fraud president, stop reading teleprompters, stop accepting bribes, stop shipping guns to mexico, stop with your drone army.
Just stop already, do this country a soild and leave."

Added: I found this one post that summed all that bullshit up..

Hello, Mr. Soetero-- Can you tell us all why you answer such stupid fluff like "Who's your favorite basketball player?" and "What's the first thing you'll do on Nov. 2nd?" but you ignore questions about SOPA/PIPA, the drug wars, suicides among our servicemen and women, the shutting down of legal medical marijuana clinics and a myriad of other IMPORTANT topics of today??
I'm surprised you haven't disclosed your position boxers or briefs.

So many sheeple, makes me sick... its as pathetic as the way people acted when pirate showed up in his channel, with the roadies just juggling his balls in their mouths...Well its the same here, weakminded individuals rule the net, and praise him as he takes a shit in their mouths, doesnt even warn them to boot.

SOMEHOW, people on there still believe he's for an open net and for legalization, even thought hes done the COMPLETE opposite since invading the oval office. Being PIPA & SOPAs little bitch, while closing down dispensaries all over the states, come on you meatbags wake the fuck up already before you take us down with you.

reddit user does the math and finds one of obama's softballs was made by a user that wrote a paragraph in 6 seconds, and is a former DOJ intern.

Haha, it turns out I went to school with hmlee and recognize her.  She confirmed that you found her on her Facebook profile (I'm not friends with her, but we share mutual friends and her profile is pretty open).  She claims that two reporters have already contacted her about it, but it doesn't look like she was planted by the Obama campaign.  This is one of the reporters who interviewed her: http://www.digitaltrends.com/social-media/president-obama-planted-reddit-ama-question-conspiracy/

Haha, that's cool.  Yeah, I wasn't totally buying into the conspiracy theory, but it is an interesting set of coincidences.  The TL;DR is:

I heard about the AMA a few minutes prior to it going live and couldn’t get my account to login. I knew that if I didn’t get a question submitted in a hurry, it’d probably get lost in the shuffle. So I decided to just create a new account. I typed up my question in notepad prior to copy/pasting it into reddit.

Sounds reasonable.
