Obama AMA on Reddit

Just broke Reddit, I'm sure it'll be back up sometime soon though. For those interested:

Note: To those not familiar with AMA - it stands for "Ask Me Anything" and they generally respond to popular user-posted questions for some time.

whoa thats actually pretty cool of him.

but this is probably going to find its way to taboo. but thanks for the heads up anyway.

I dunno, I just thought it was cool that the president did an AMA on Reddit - has nothing to do with Republicans vs. Democrats or political views.

It doesn't yet

But I think it is a good way to reach a group of people.

Yea. That has got to be staff. Is it really him?

If so... youth vote is wrapped up.

He is dodging all of the actual questions.

Favorite basketball player?

White House beer recipe?

Boo

Reddit is real liberal/democrat anyway. I doubt he is swaying much anyway.

Now if Ron Paul did this, people would eat it up. Romney knows what to keep away from lol.

He answered 10 questions out of 10,000 lol and most of those were pointless or we already knew the answer.

This was an attention grab for Obama during the RNC.

Answering softball questions on reddit is preaching to the choir.

OMG he has soooo much karma lol.

I agree though, just trying to steal some thunder. Not a bad move, I just don't think it helps him much.
