That's the nice thing about reddit - if you care about a topic, you can make a post! Edit: To clarify, I think it's an excellent question. It's just very lazy of you to ask someone else to do it.
I don't understand how a question with an unsupported/uncited premise equivalent to "do you still beat your wife?" constitutes "an excellent question".
It'll be down the entire time he's supposed to be answering questions.
Oh dear..

I imagine the emotions at Reddit HQ must be all over the place for employees right now: - This is so cool, the President of the United States is going to use our website to answer questions! - OMG, the site is down and the President wants to use our site, fix this now!
I can't imagine this hasn't been negotiated by the White House ahead of time.

There are already more than enough questions. What I'm wondering is how the president is going to answer anything if the website is down.

We know how Republicans feel about protecting Internet Freedom. Is Internet Freedom an issue you'd push to add to the Democratic Party's 2012 platform?

Internet freedom is something I know you all care passionately about; I do too. We will fight hard to make sure that the internet remains the open forum for everybody - from those who are expressing an idea to those to want to start a business. And although their will be occasional disagreements on the details of various legislative proposals, I won't stray from that principle - and it will be reflected in the platform.

And when you say "Internet Freedom" do you mean the Republican version ("Freedom for the access provider monopoly") or the version in which the Internet is free to anyone with an idea or an expression?
