OMFG PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REDDIT START WORKING AGAIN!!!!

All I want to do is ask ONE question of the President!!

PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASSSE

Internet gods, MAKE REDDIT WORK AGAIN!



PS. How cool is it that he is doing this!!!!!


PPS..My question.

Mr. President.

Thank you so much for taking the time to come to our little corner of the internet. My question is a bit of a two parter:

In light of the recent increase of reports in not only police brutality, but also techniques such as stop and frisk, kettling, overt use of "less lethal" crowd control, killing of house hold animals, unexplained deaths of suspects in custody, warrantless spying, etc.. Does your administration have any plans to address the frightening escalation in the militarization of the our police forces? Also as a side note to that. Do you feel that the "War on Drugs" or "War on Crime" in this country have been in any way successful in decreasing drugs or crime? How would you and your administration change these issues in your second term.

and I would like to hear him answer those. I wonder if they screen the questions at all and take mostly questions that he likes?

Although I do give him credit for talking about the job market and campaign finance.

Also for talking about Afghanistan, which the RePubs have seem to forgotten completely about..

Though I imagine there a several he would like to slide on until after the election. Of course we know Rmoney won't talk about any subject. No ideas, no scruples, no integrity, no plan, no idea. The party of no, for sure.

This sounds weird but I've always wanted to shake this man's hand, talk to him for a second, just a second... and I feel like the closest I will ever come has just passed....
