It bugged me, reading his responses, to see more or less proper comma use and abbreviation, capital letters for the first words in sentences, and the like but then a failure to capitalize proper nouns, such as Afghanistan, consistently. I mean, overall, his posts appeared to be well-written like you'd expect from an educated, literate English speaker, but they were peppered with little faults. Tthen I wondered if that was just another aspect of the fishing-for-votes vibe I got from all of this. "Hey, he makes mistakes when typing on the Intertubes like us! Hoorjayflakes!"


Still, it's pretty neat that our President sat down to answer questions somewhat in real time on Reddit, crashed the site for a little bit as a result, and even referenced his own meme.

Seems like all the questions answered were basically fluff questions, not much to write home about.

I can't imagine why anyone would assume he'd tackle tough questions on Reddit, regardless of the "ask me anything" trend there.

I wasn't, but fluff responses aren't really worth discussing and i don't think any one should be satisfied with that. Mind you he did let slip some discussion about a potential manned mission but unless that comes with a huge budget jump for nasa we are talking about a huge removal in scientific mission capacity.
