OBAMA DIDN’T ANSWER ANY OF THE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ON REDDIT

Posted on December 7, 2012October 20, 2013 by jgrebes

Expertly dodging the deluge of questions about legalizing marijuana, the President took to Reddit yesterday for an Ask Me Anything. He did a pretty good job of it. His answers were pretty standard for the most part, but nobody really should’ve expected much more. It was a half hour on Reddit, not a tell all interview. Still, it was pretty cool.

That said, Obama did not answer any of the hard-hitting questions I wanted him to. America needs to know the answers to these questions, damn it.

Screen Shot 2012-08-29 at 4.36.31 PMYou know that deep down he has an answer to this question. Smart money is on Arizona, but maybe Obama just has it out for one of the Dakotas or something.

Screen Shot 2012-08-29 at 4.37.04 PMI honestly want to know the answer to this. Do Sasha and Malia learn responsibility from watching their father be the leader of the free world, or by taking care of a dog? Also, do you think that Bo shit in the White House when he was a puppy? Has Bo ever been in the War Room? Do they have to crate Bo on Air Force One? I really want to know about this.

Screen Shot 2012-08-29 at 4.37.19 PMNice variation on a common question. Hitler is the easy answer, because Barack would probably (hopefully) beat the crap out of him, but maybe he would choose someone that he could have a respectable bout with. Roosevelt would probably be down for a friendly spar. Teddy, not Franklin because, …eesh. That would not be good PR.
