could we somehow get pres obama to post here?

[brianmanahan]

i saw that he posted on reddit and it was a big deal. since at has to be almost as big a deal as reddit, do you think we could convince him to come here and answer some questions?

that would be the coolest thing ever!

He did post here. But the mods saw that the conservatards could never keep up so they removed his post to keep the userbase.

Okay, you guys have always known that I am a middle-aged lawyer. I've always said Michelle Obama was the best-looking First Lady in history.

It's time for me to come clean - I am the 44th President of the United States. Yes, I am a Communist and a Muslim. It feels good to get this stuff off my chest . . .

This forum would never get past the "secret service vetting" stage. One quick look at the forum and they would not let President Obama near this place. D:

The ass kissing from our liberal friends would be entertaining, beyond that, I don't see why it would be all that special.

What vetting would be required for an opinion board?

Given how disingenuous the replies on Reddit were, why do you want him here?

Do you expect anything else from Republicans?

Nice try there. Go complain about being poor some more...

Point stands: Obama's reddit replies were in some cases flat out lies, in all cases canned responses. And he (or the staff doing this for him) totally avoided all of the hard questions. It was pretty sad to watch. Predictable though.

President Obama’s Ask Me Anything on Reddit needed 60 dedicated servers (!)

He was able to use Reddit. Our forum is too small, but if you ponied up enough money I bet you could get him, maybe for as little as 50-100k. Otherwise it wouldn't be worth his time.

Well Republicans managed to get rid of the Ron Paul crazies but they won't eliminate themselves.
