Obama does an AMA and breaks Reddit

[AeryFairy]

President Obama did something that, in theory, should have gone horribly wrong - he did an Ask Me Anything on Reddit. Reddit crashed from the amount of traffic but, overall, people on the internet were actually sensible. And the POTUS referenced his own 'not bad' meme.

I basically found out it was happening because reddit kept crashing and I couldn't figure out why

Overall it was decent but really short and he didn't exactly answer any hard hitting questions. It would be cool if he could do it again sometime with things a bit more organized, people could have questions ready ahead of time.

I can't get enough of the people who were correcting his grammar. Sounds like something I would do.

Overall, the whole thing is pretty damn cool. It doesn't surprise me at all that he crashed Reddit.
