The president made a thread titled 'Ask me anything' and he has not responded to any of the questions xP

That's 3 so far. I love how Reddit has exploded on this.

You know he's got like 14 advisors behind him watching every word his publicist types for him.

I was just looking for people to ask him silly questions like favorite pizza topping.
Obama's responses are similar to Bill Nye's in a way.
"here is proof I am real"
"NOT BAD"
lol
Huh

Are you considering increasing funds to the space program?
Edit: grammar

Making sure we stay at the forefront of space exploration is a big priority for my administration. The passing of Neil Armstrong this week is a reminder of the inspiration and wonder that our space program has provided in the past; the curiosity probe on mars is a reminder of what remains to be discovered. The key is to make sure that we invest in cutting edge research that can take us to the next level - so even as we continue work with the international space station, we are focused on a potential mission to a asteroid as a prelude to a manned Mars flight.

This is shitty's painting: http://i.imgur.com/Ju94o.png
And yes, this was real and Solly's quote comes from the comment section.
haha, this is purely a publicity stunt to show how in touch he is with the current generation, but it's still pretty cool and you know these quotes are going to be used to hold him accountable at some point in the future should he go against them. not that i've read what he's posting or that it's guaranteed to make a difference, but still i think it's great.
Money has always been a factor in politics, but we are seeing something new in the no-holds barred flow of seven and eight figure checks, most undisclosed, into super-PACs; they fundamentally threaten to overwhelm the political process over the long run and drown out the voices of ordinary citizens. We need to start with passing the Disclose Act that is already written and been sponsored in Congress - to at least force disclosure of who is giving to who. We should also pass legislation prohibiting the bundling of campaign contributions from lobbyists. Over the longer term, I think we need to seriously consider mobilizing a constitutional amendment process to overturn Citizens United (assuming the Supreme Court doesn't revisit it). Even if the amendment process falls short, it can shine a spotlight of the super-PAC phenomenon and help apply pressure for change.
Obama's cool
