[–]Fudanchi 35 points36 points ago

I'd like to hear from that guy.

[–]fury420 23 points24 points ago

The previous "PresidentObama" was in one of the other threads earlier today, stating that he had deleted the account a few years ago, something to the effect of him being paranoid and switching usernames regularly.

[–]jfong86 31 points32 points ago

Looks like this guy was nice enough to donate his username when the mods were setting up the AMA with Obama's staff. Pretty sure the Reddit admins aren't asshole enough to just take his username without asking.

edit: or it may have been taken and then deactivated by the account holder, or abandoned (no log in activity for a long time)

[–]Charwinger21 72 points73 points ago

There was a guy last night claiming that he used to have that username and deleted the account a few months ago for reasons that he refused to disclose.

Was he telling the truth? IDK, but I don't see any reason why someone would lie on the internet.

[–]rocketbears 10 points11 points ago

A while ago back when everyone was talking about Rebecca Black, I noticed her youtube account name.. have to wonder if it was "given" to her because her first video on the channel is from a year ago, stating it's her "new account" despite being 5 years old.

[–]w3r3dud3 10 points11 points ago

Nobody else would want that tarnished name.

[–]DigitalChocobo 3 points4 points ago

Well. I guess it was taken after all (at least at some point).

No.It was not available. Here is old president obama profile: http://web.archive.org/web/20090221153248/http://www.reddit.com/user/PresidentObama

It was erased and made new for yesterday IAMA

[–]Tyler29294 1 point2 points ago

I saw someone yesterday saying that they at one time had the username but deleted it. Reddit must have reactivated it.

[–][deleted] 70 points71 points ago

I'm wondering who it was that gifted him Reddit Gold.

[–]MaximilianKohler 55 points56 points ago

MittRomney did it. He's trying to get Obama addicted to the Reddit so he can swoop on in and take his job. Luckily Obama was warned and therefore dedicated only 1/2 an hour to the AMA and never looked at the Reddit once. He had his assistant read the questions to him and type his responses.

The laptop in the verification photo was turned off. CIA computer hackers created a Visual Basic with C++ syntax hack to add in what looks like a Reddit website reflection onto the president. But at no time was the President subjected to the possibility of The Reddit Experience.

[–]MITT_R0MNEY 17 points18 points ago

Dangit, I could have sworn that it would work

[–]this_sort_of_thing 19 points20 points ago

He got it very quickly, I was there when his AMA was only a few minutes old and I saw he already had gold. Either he/they did it (in order to look shiny, can't have Fox News going 'Obama freeloader, uses Reddit, doesn't donate, you didn't build that etc') or someone was real quick.

Wow

[–]mrrizzle 54 points55 points ago

I want this to be true.

[–]funkyshit 41 points42 points ago

Mitt Romney has been a redditor for 5 years and used reddit to study reactions of large group of people thinking as a single hivemind, exploiting this mechanism and using it for escalate the ladder of political power.

Wow.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points ago

Yes, Obama may have a plan to pull us out of these economical hardships, a plan for universal healthcare and a plan to legalize weed for all...but elect me as president, and I will air pictures of cats through wide angle lenses!

[–]karma_dontgiveashit 1 point2 points ago

How the fuck did no one post this before you after reading it in the thread?

[–]K-guy 1 point2 points ago

The president could have asked (nicely) whoever had such a username to allow him to use it, by giving him the account's password. BO changed password and now he has reddit account.

[–]clybill 1 point2 points ago

POTUS don't give a fuck, he takes what he wants

[–]skeptic_tank 1 point2 points ago

I like to think that he tried plain ol' "BarackObama" first, then "Barack_Obama", "Barack_Obama_1961" and so on, growing slowly more enraged until he finally stumbled upon "PresidentObama" and gingerly peeled his finger away from the big red doomsday button

[–]BlatheringMM 1 point2 points ago

I'm curious as to what President Obama's real username might be. He probably has a regular account just for Redditor purposes if so the implications are innumerable. Presidential rage comics, Presidential WTFs, Presidential lurking of Gonewild...

[–]crawlingpony 1 point2 points ago

How the fuck was an over 10,000 score seen on the AMA article, when reddit bots automatically downvote rising stories for balance? Scores of 4000 and above are rarer than, say, a true statement from a republican.

Can a reddit admin share with us the answer to that, and perhaps also show us the top ten highest scoring articles in the last twelve months and the high score of each?
