QUOTE (Robinski @ Wednesday, Aug 29 2012, 22:30) The internet, the true universal leveller: This was brilliant. I mean, how many people can say that they've corrected the President?

It's a story which that guy will tell down the pub for the rest of his life while nobody cares/believes him.

If grammar nazis are the sort of people who go down the pub, that is.

It probably was him along with the special assistant for social media or something.

Why does everyone always suspect presidents/governors/etc. of needing help with social media? Sure they're old, but they're not idiots.

It's more editing than anything. The president is a wacky, gun-toting, roach-toking, tit-grabbing motherf*cker and if you get that onto reddit with no editing, well you're asking for it, in nicer words than I'd care to express.

Is Obama still answering questions? I would like to ask him one question on the health service that he plans to improve and if privatisation is still going to be the future for the health service in the US. I plan to live out in the USA in a few years, but the thing that bothers me is the health service, and the gun laws but that isn't going to change anytime soon.

No Barack! Run away before it's too late!

Nope, he's done.

If I had to fancy a guess, I would say they're there to make sure the President (or other authority figure) doesn't say something he might regret later.

He caused Reddit to crash for an hour?

[lzw3]

I'd like to thank him for sh*tting all over everyone else's AMA's.

Nice to see our glorious leader posting on an internet forum while people are loosing their homes.

You're a class act Barry!

Can't wait to give this bum the boot in November.

I've heard he even has the audacity to sleep. In a bed nonetheless! The very cheek.

You could be working in those hours, Barry.

Uh, huh. Yeah. That the best you have? Bad Sarcasm?

Wonder how those folks in Louisiana feel? They are being flooded out, and our leader decides to go on an internet forum. Nice.

But he's a democrat, so gets a pass. Could have atleast flew over on way to a campaign stop, but better things to do I guess...

[GTA_stu]

I'd say it was rather good sarcasm to be honest.

Anyways Rob is right, what the hell should he have been doing then? You're nitpicking over something so small and insignificant, and you called him Barry, which is right behind handsome Obama on the list of ridiculous names people use to refer to him.

...while people are loosing their homes.

Is this in relation to the economic situation or the hurricane?

If the former-
Didn't the last set of financial figures from the US show steady economic growth at a higher rate than predicted? Oh, wait, yes it did. Hasn't the foreclosure rate in the US dropped significantly since 2010, and very singificantly in recent months. Yes it has.

If the latter-
What do you suppose that the US president can do to prevent a hurricane, then? It's not as if he's responsible for the weather. Oh, sure, he could go down there and offer moral support, but how's he going to get there? Flights are grounded so the presidential helicopter is out of the question, and half the roads are closed. What do you suggest he does, sails there?

[zoo3891]

@spaghetti
I don't suppose you're using your weather controlling powers to help deflect the hurricane, or are you down in Louisiana with a bucket scooping water out of people's homes?

@Icarus
Yeah, I guess I didn't think of that.

This is a particularly bad argument I hate seeing because it can be used as a blanket statement that applies to all things. Barack has dinner with family, how could he do this while infant mortality in the US is sooo high! How dare he use up all that time at townhall meetings campaigning when people are being foreclosed on. It works in every situation because people are always losing their homes, even in upswings certain sections of the continental scale large and populous United States are in downturn, something terrible is always happening and the president does do less important sh*t sometimes, as humans sometimes do.

Face it, nobody tries to do anything in the election season, give it a few months.

you're an idiot.
allow me to frame your stupidity for you:

do you remember how much time President Bush spent at his ranch down in Texas?
he spent more time on vacation than any other president in the history of this country. look it up.

walkin' around with his cowboy hat, fixing fence posts, pushing around bails of hay, laughing with local reporters.
he did this while we were in the middle of 2 major wars (which he started) and during the hurricane that virtually destroyed New Orleans.

but you want to get mad at Obama for campaigning a little just because the economy is slightly less than perfect?
that's not a scandal. that's not an issue. and you're an ignorant fool. have a nice day.

Yup. They should resurrect an old battleship or something and send a fleet there.

I was extremely excited when he first posted. Then Reddit crashed for 30 minutes and I couldn't get on. Now I see he only answered 10 questions and then put a donation link in the OP. What a disappointment.

I'd have been disappointed if he didn't ask for money, considering he is asking everywhere else in peoples' lives. Like, donating to him instead of wedding gifts. Or donating to him instead of donating to charity. Or donate to him instead of buying food. Good to see him stick to his donate to me meme.
