That's pretty freakin cool!

I gave it a quick skim. Same talking points, different audience. Not impressed but he's not trying to impress me.

OTECTom

I wasn't supremely impressed with the questions or answers either. Most of them were fairly generic, middle of the road answers. Also no coincidence this was done THIS week.



However still pretty cool, I mean how often does any POTUS take questions from the general public? Especially on an internet forum? Next year we should push to have him do a Q&A on HA!

Oh, I would TOTALLY be game for that.

Dunno what the reaction would be through. He's pretty accustomed to being lobbed softball nonsense and... well....









That aside, I'd place heavy best on this being most of those responses being made by some proxy. Most political people have someone manage their various online accounts for obvious reasons. A stunt like this: [insert political figure of choice] shows up at some location with a PC, gets his picture taken with the computer, possibly make a post or two, more pictures are taken, everyone applauds and the press is quickly removed to real work can commence.

I'd like to see him answer questions on 4chan
