It's a tough job serving as one of Twitter's Q&A
As @amandacarpenter noted on Twitter: the "saddest part about #AskObama are all the good, hard-hitting questions that will never actually get asked."
Indeed.

ReplyDelete"13. @iowahawkblog: #askobama When you're visiting his volcano lair, does George Soros let you feed the laser sharks?"
ReplyDeletePriceless! If I had the inclination to do the twitter thing, my question that would have been "moderated" out would have gone something like:
@the_bad: How would Senator Obama have reacted to President Bush engaging in war with Libya without Congressional approval? #AskObama
This list is worthless! Clearly you just picked questions you liked, rather than questions that were massively popular but ignored.
ReplyDelete#1 should be this one, because it had by far the most tweets, but was totally ignored:
"Would you consider legalizing marijuana to increase revenue and save tax dollars by freeing up crowded prisons, court rooms?"
By the way, this article probably links to the data about tweets you are looking for, you partisan hack:

ReplyDeleteThat specific question has the single most amount of retweets, but was by far not the topic most often asked about.
Look at the graphic showing the metrics, you single-issue hack.
The topic of cannabis was the single most tweeted about issue that was completely ignored i.e. censored. The other topics were addressed many times, and were therefore not censored. Your list is "Top 20 censored questions" and the cannabis question IS the most censored single question. In your reply to me you are now pretending, as a dodge, to be concerned about topics, but again, all the topics you mention were addressed many times. The cannabis topic was never addressed.
ReplyDeleteThanks you guys! America is coming apart at the seams, we got a rouge commie in the White House along with his own shadow government pouring gasoline on the fire, and your bitching about not being able to legally spark up a doobie?
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot.
With nincompoops like you all that place the priority of legalizing pot above everything else it gives me boundless hope for my country.
Here some more questions for President Putzhead:
ReplyDeleteHow do you think you are going to survive politically when you have mucked up the economy so bad?
After you’re cloward pivened the nation, what’s your back up plan to fool people into re-electing you?
Have you shame? The country is running off a cliff and all you can spout is a pantload of Marxist class warfare bull hockey.
we have more people asking about marijuana than housing prices.
