I like this question:

Greg Wilson said:
Would it be possible to link Department of Education, US Department of Labor, and Federal Student Aid into a strategic human capitol development system? Bachelors degrees raise income over 400% for high-demand fields, like technology, engineering, and health care. Break-even funds recovery is under 10 years just through higher income taxes revenue for 100% grant-supported education in low-cost public colleges for these majors. In exchange, students would be subject to mandatory government service 2 weeks per year and full-time service should urgent need arise for a term of 10 years (domestic peace corps). The return on investment is 3 to 1 after a 5 year delay - a self sustaining profit making government venture.

I predict a pot legalization question.

So is this in 3 hours and 45 minutes?

These US Time zones always confuse the hell out of me.

It'll be four hours in ten minutes.

I am going to ask about the birth certificate.

WillyFive · Jan 30, 2012

I sent out a question one the day of the State of the Union address. Doubt it will get answered, like a million must have been sent out to him.

You should ask how a terrorist Muslim Kenyan can be the American president.

I am joking of course

This is a pleasant surprise. Hopefully they got some great questions.

The country's in trouble and the campaigner-in-chief is of out there...campaigning. Typical.

Three of the top five questions are about marijuana. He'll dismiss all them in three seconds

GREAT JOB AMERICA

I see this a lot, but it doesn't really make a lot of sense. Can you elaborate?

What a useless/meaningless issue in the large scheme of things. We have millions of people out of work, climate change warming the planet, an income gap the size of a chasm, people dying for lack of adequate health insurance, and those three questions are essentially asking if the president will support a measure to make it easier for people screw around in their free time.

I hope he ignores the questions.

WillyFive · Jan 30, 2012

It begins.

The announcer just came out and started screaming on the mic "Is it working?"

NH Apache · Jan 30, 2012

Newfangled

Divvy · Jan 30, 2012

I wonder how much money was involved with this and in which direction. So much google advertising.

This is exactly how I feel about people asking marijuana questions. Obama must be fed up with the "young" crowd by now. All they want is to smoke pot.

WillyFive · Jan 30, 2012

This is obviously a Google+ commercial.

Also, I don't like the President sitting down. He needs to stand up, or something. Lean on something like the debates.

I think he should stand on his hands, jump over the chairs and do a couple of barrel rolls as well while answering the questions. What do you think?

The Lamonster · Jan 30, 2012

dude needs to be shootin hoops right now for sure

No, that would be dumb. Something that makes him look less awkward doing this, because this is certainly going to be criticized.

thatbox · Jan 30, 2012

This is very awkward.

I demand shoe on head. This could all be taped.

JerzeyDevil · Jan 30, 2012

Interesting to see if its as full of lies and hipocracy as the SOTU. Really hope the Keystone Pipeline comes up..

Door2Dawn · Jan 30, 2012

The majority of the questions asked will be about weed.

They should be. Its 2012 and were still wasting precious resources putting people in prison and stealing lives over a plant that makes people eat junkfood.

Too bad Ron Paul is the only one with the balls to confront the issue head on from a logicial perspective.

WillyFive · Jan 30, 2012

Obama had this answer planned, and just waited for a question that remotely had anything to do with it.

thatbox · Jan 30, 2012

Who on his staff agreed to let Obama do this?

I'll just say I'm impressed by how still the people in the hangout thumbnails are being when someone else has asked their question.

Yeah cause the overcrowding of prisons is not in any way related to pot possession arrests, or the "war on drugs" not costing taxpayers countless dollars, or how about if hemp was able to be used for everything again, yeah fuck all that noise!

I understand your point but feel like you're not looking at the larger picture, sure someone asking the question might just be a typical stoner but there are soooo many other things pot legalization would help with in this country right now.
