Which further confirms that this whole AMA is a carefully crafted PR stunt.
- jcitme 14y agoAre we seriously considering otherwise? Obviously the PR department managed it. Obama seems pretty lighthearted, so he has a bit of leeway in responding wittily, but much of it has to be planned.
- mkopinsky 14y agoEvery high-profile AMA is a carefully crafted PR stunt.
- smokinjoe 14y agoWell, this wasn't going to be a forum to influence future policy. I think it's pretty cool that this happened - even now my Mom might know what the "AMA" stands for. And great timing to do it during the RNC and steal some buzz away.
- brown9-2 14y agoAren't they all?
- arrrg 14y agoAnd? I’m really not sure what you expect. The President has a busy schedule, plus (as the guy running for office) enough money to hire people to do stuff for him. We all nearly always plan what we say and do. The stakes might not be quite so high for us most of the time – but the principle behind it is the same. The only difference is that the President can afford people whom he can delegate some of that planning to. It’s very simply not possible to do this any other way.
- noobface 14y agoIf the Woody Harrelson AMA has taught us anything. Do a legit AMA or don't do one at all. Although I'm surprised more people aren't calling him out on completely dodging the questions.
- arrrg 14y agoNo, from that we can only learn to plan your AMA better. His PR people sucked, that’s all.
