Today on OBAMA!

The daily Obama show tried a new tactic this morning with an online town hall featuring questions from people who submitted them through the White House website. And just what were most of those people concerned about? The economy? The war in Iraq/Afghanistan? National Debt? High taxes?

Well, they were concerned about things getting high, but the things they wanted high were themselves:

The White House’s high-profile foray into cyberspace with a presidential town hall meeting Thursday illustrated both the perils and the promise of relegating democracy to the Internet.

More than 92,000 people submitted questions for President Obama through the White House Web site, according to a tally posted online. And about 3.6 million votes were cast for and against those queries. How many people created multiple identities to stuff the ballot boxes is impossible to know.

Despite the economy’s frightening plunge, the issue which proved to be the most urgent priority of the online audience was legalizing marijuana. Questions on the issue dominated the top slots in a variety of categories set up by the White House, such as energy, jobs, and health care. Under the heading of “budget,” seven of the ten queries voted most popular were about legalizing drugs, and many were about taxing them.

“There was one question that was voted on that ranked fairly high: that was whether legalizing marijuana would improve the economy and job creation,” Obama said, with a chuckle. “I don’t know what this says about the online audience.”

I know what it says about the online audience - they're a bunch of potheads. They don't care about any of that important stuff, they just want to be able to score they're next hit.

Some fan base Obama has.
