Obama on reddit...
I am Barack Obama, President of the United States -- AMA : IAmA
Pretty awesome, I must say. Though I wish he would have tackled MMJ at some point. This thing spawned an absolutely fantastic meme... http://memepics.com/wp-content/uploa...ign-poster.jpg *edit* Upon further review, that meme has been around for a while. :facepalm: Last edited by Sun Tzu : 08-30-2012 at 08:23 PM. |

I do like these things only to see that 99% of the questions are about marijuana.

It's a real issue that affects more than just a handful of criminal Mexicans and American scumbags. I have a close friend that made some really bad choices when he was young and his life is pretty much fucked because of the drug war. I am not asking anyone to cry a bunch of tears for the guy he made the bad choices but what are we accomplishing here? It isn't working and if the plan is to keep on doing what they are doing now it never will. I’ll admit the stoner jokes are funny and there definitely is a group of people who want drugs legal just because it’s fun to get high. But man I really wish a sitting president who says “The Wire” is his favorite show of all time would actually do something about the drug war. Maybe a lame duck term would be the best thing ever for the prospect of some sense with our federal war on drugs.

Yeah. Alcohol too. Let's ban alcohol...it's only legal because it's fun to get buzzed/drunk!

I thought it was because it generates so much tax and fee/penalty revenue. |

I wonder how long it's going to be before a legally married gay couple can walk into a store and buy a bottle of red and an eighth of Acapulco gold. Last edited by Sun Tzu : 08-30-2012 at 07:05 PM. |

Well technically some can do that in CA already... They just have to go to two separate stores... |

Heh, I should rephrase then. I wonder how long it will be before a gay couple can get married, and then walk into a store and buy a bottle of red and an eighth of Acapulco gold...without a prescription Last edited by Sun Tzu : 08-30-2012 at 07:07 PM. |

There was only one question I'd wanted Obama to answer.
"You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that, Barack?" |

Chances that Obama and Tom Morello are going to form an all-Kenyan supergroup?

The meme was there before he was on reddit. His comment was actually a nod to the meme.
