Ask President Barack Obama anything on Reddit (seriously)

  • Link to actual AMA: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/z1c9z/i_am_barack_obam...

    Reddit's ops team is going to have a fun day today. (Link's down as I post this.)

  • There's already a thread above this one on the main page, and it actually links to the AMA: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4450803

  • As stated in the reddit thread... He's currently out and about in Virginia - So this is a staffer pretending to be him.

    Sad.

  • All questions have to be about Rampart.

  • I've never seen so many positive up-votes before. What do you think of this as a move? Do you think it makes him accesible or will it be seen as pandering?

  • I can't even load the page, so... "was bubble sort the wrong way to go?" ...I hate myself a little.

  • I hope Reddit follows up with a blog post on how they handled the load and how it affected the amount of new sign-ups

  • I couldn't have done a better job, but I probably would have done a diffewrent job.

    How about ask God anything?

    Umm... can I have a cockatoo? I got my own birds, though.

    God says... permitted sweetened another dreaded brides variation -what Israel ways Humans seizes cleave thanks Reason publicly siege fortunes ashamed extremely drinketh win hesitate contests fortunate oil got That's_my_favorite etc unravelled hungry variance see unsound fro season occurred Enter PURPOSE 90 country indited Lastly far-distant shamelessness I'm_impressed Himself superstition Virgin's fared cheered belongeth pieces deepest seduced question distinct parted Incarnation figurative sufficest partly Me shelter password task unwholesome later crown enjoy madly

  • In the past reddit was described as a child porn site. I wonder if that will be brought up.
