President Obama Shows Up on Reddit
That's probably not the best place for RNC counterprogramming, but way to go for the younguns.
Hi, I'm Barack Obama, President of the United States. Ask me anything. I'll be taking your questions for half an hour starting at about 4:30 ET.

I look forward to all the drug war questions he'll inevitably ignore.
So far he hasn't answered any interesting questions. Just stuff like "what will you do when you win or lose?" and "will you increase funding to NASA?"
Generally speaking, reddit luvs NASA. Who cares about the cost? It's inspirational to our children and child-minded adults, and you can't put a price tag on that. And you can't deny that the technological spinoff benefits have totally been worth the cost anyway - ever heard of Tang?
Anytime someone asks anything with substance, it fist gets voted up, then immediately begins a nosedive with overwhelming down votes. Barry must have an army of staffers clicking to vote down the questions about prohibition, dispensary raids, Guantanamo, , and murder drones.
That was the most sad sack bunch of bullshit questions and answers I've ever seen. Calling campaign financing the most important issue ever is beyond insulting.
