    • Mr. President will you and your family and congress be using the exact same health care as in your bill...will you be treated, medically, like the rest of the United States? It is, after all, what you deem a better idea.

    • I support Obama all the way, but I would love for a little kid to show up and ask some surprisingly hard questions that no one expected.

    • Lovely. Sincerely, wonderfully, incredibly- lovely.

      I am looking forward to see just how the nin-con-poops out there will attack when Obama does finally take on the education system.

    • Well, if his dream is to be a reporter someday I hope he makes it. Although, hopefully his questions won't be as softball as these were.

    • It is awesome that a child got to interview the President.

      it is not awesome that the child only interviews black people....where's affirmative action in that?

      Double standards are the most annoying thing ever.

      It is also highly intelligent of Obama to agree to do this. One would look evil if they were to criticize the child for the way he interviewed or the questions he asked.

      Obama's answers were like he was writing a story about how he wished America to be not how it was even possible to even get there.

      Any writer in America could give answers like that. Those were not President answers. They were pacifier answers.

      Adorableness was clever and more put on than it felt actually genuine.

      I'm sure the little boy was excited after he was done. As in I TALKED TO OBAMA and totally ecstatic. In the interview he was so focused on speaking well and not stammering that he seemed less excited, but he was so excited...no doubt. And he should be...meeting the President (any President) would be an awesome experience.

      How in the world can you find some logical connection between this situation, and the concept of Affirmative Action? What in the universe does Affirmative Action have to do with an eleven year-old child participating in a publicity stunt for a local TV station? All I know about this kid is that he was given an unbelievable opportunity to interview the president and the vice president. You're acting like you think someone has been conspiring to keep this harmless eleven year-old child away from white people. That's insane. If the kid had interviewed John McCain and a few other white people as well, would THAT be considered "Affirmative Action" in your mind?

      Wait, I think we're at the root of the problem here...
      Do you know what Affirmative Action means?

      No one is being given financial aid, or enhanced job opportunities, to redress past injustices. THAT is Affirmative Action. THIS is a kid participating in a cute little human-interest stunt for a local news network. The two are entirely unrelated.

      This Hammer guy is a joke. I've only been on here a few times, but it doesn't take long to see who wants respectful disagreement and dialogue. This guy wants 'me recognition', and will say anything to get it. Something as innocent as a kid interviewer makes him bear his fangs? Give me a break.

      Would you be excited for a child to have interviewed President Bush?

      Yes or no?

      Because right now you seem to be rude for only one reason...because you like Obama and you think I don't.

      It has nothing to do with the child.

      I love the conspiracy theorists who think that our president trusted an 11 year old girl to keep a secret that she was a planted question. Laughable.

    • great man...? this is the guy who goes to a townhall meeting and makes his friends kid ask a question about bad signs and bad people. This is how you spoon feed reporters these days. Google and search, see how many real townhall people ask real questions, not fixed make America happy questions. This is just one of those "make me look cool events, and up my ratings" Your ratings will continue to fall as long as you keep destroying America.
