People are hungering for a chance to ask serious questions at an open and honest forum.
Obama gives them cynical, lousily acted melodramas instead.
Barack Antoinette Obama says, “Let them have fake.”

Well, I wish I could agree with you.
But if this forum is any indication, people aren't interested in asking difficult questions. I posted about the "Open for Questions" event on Tuesday at "Open for Questions: Pres__ent Obama to Answer Your Questions on Thursday." There was a followup thread posted by FreeInWV Wednesday evening at "Open for Questions - Your Questions on the Economy (Digg clone needs a Freepin')."
Yet the top questions were about education and legalizing marijuana. We Freepers couldn't get a tough economic question into the top 5. We couldn't even agree on which questions to push up the charts.
It's tough to say that the site was rigged. We never really tried to push any difficult questions up to the top. Obama might have ignored them, but we'll never really know.
