    Well, I learnt the following:

    I now know what reddit is.

    I now know what AMA is.

    I also know that reddit is experiencing heavy loads so I can't read anything about anything mentioned in op.

    So.....

    Nah, no point.

    Reddit is an awful awful website. It's like they tried their best to create the most user unfriendly site in history. And they succeeded.

    Twitter would have been perfect for this, Reddit has probably the worst GUI I've ever seen.

    None of the replies to the questions are loading for me, can't see whether he responded or not.

    Barely worth the time taken to reasons to it. He didn't have quite the same level of responsibility towards the applications of the rule of law back then. I can't imagine it is on the top of the list most period have to ask.

    Its not the website layout I hate. Its the self-pandering userbase.

    I honestly thaught the same for about a week of using it, give it time though. it grows on you, i think the site has a better layout than the standard forum formats.

    I tried to use it a few times. I genuinely had no clue what was going on. I don't think I can ever give it another try.

    I was the same, I now probably spend more time there than on boards, some great fun there.

    Reddit as it is is tremendously hard to follow. Reddit with Reddit Enhancement Suite is ridiculously addictive!

    Screw Obama, Starburns is doing an AMA!

    It is, proof has been given.

    Definitely! It makes the comment section so much easier to read. That's the only fault I have with the site tbh. The comment section is laid out horribly without the RES.

    Found this interesting article that examines the theory that Obama is basically a chronic narcissist, like a cult leader, who has come from nowhere and fooled everyone by creating this messianic like persona around him. I do agree with lots of it. When i first saw this guy i was like wtf, he's too smooth, too good to be true, people screaming, and crying deliriously at his speeches etc hasnt been seen in the western world since probably Hitler.

    Whats odd is that there are so many question marks about his background, his place of birth etc. The fact that his own brother is living in a shack in a third world country on one dollar a day shows that Obama only cares about those who contribute to his ego, like any such narcissist. The fact that there was a less than 50/50 chance that osama Bin laden was in the house when they shot him, didnt deter him risking Soldier's lives as he saw the potential headlines and personal credit coming his way, like a narcissist would have done.The list goes on. read the article if your interested, that shows Obama to be a conman really. http://www.faithfreedom.org/obama.html

    BTW I dont find his wife a particularly nice person. She seems to be constantly trying to hog his limelight and even reprimands him in public which makes you wonder who is really wearing the trousers. there is something Bonny and Clyde about the whole thing, Ive included a second article about a book that was written about how Michelle Obama is acting inside the white house. Causing rows, being demanding with staff and getting them fired, spending extravagance on clothes etc and fighting with her husband. Also the racially aggravating statements that she makes I feel is inappropriate. She and her husband are supposed to be representing all the people of America. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/michelle-obama/8999823/Michelle-Obama-clashed-repeatedly-with-top-White-House-aides-and-rebuked-the-president-new-book-reveals.html

    Only odd in the sense that racism is odd i guess.


    I'm surprised more people here didn't know about reddit, it's a pretty huge site.

    Except there wouldn't have been. Unless Bush said something about how he hates everyone and hopes their homes get destroyed or something.

    So because of his race its actually racist to raise questions that are unclear about his background. Gotcha. People will always only hear want they want to hear.

    Well, it's racist to raise those questions when there actually isn't anything unclear about his background. It's not like any white president has been asked to prove his nationality.
