The Funniest #AskObama Tweets

President Obama took questions from the Internet today during a Twitter Town Hall meeting broadcasted from The White House. During the interactive discussion, the President fielded questions about the economy (even Republican House Speaker John Boehner tweeted, "Where are the jobs?") as well as other important topics.

It's a good thing the tweets were highly screened, however, because from what we saw on Twitter most of the topics people wanted to hear Obama gab about have little to do with the economy or his style of governing. In fact, we found some pretty hilarious "questions" tweeted with the hashtag #AskObama over the last few hours that we just have to share. Vote for your favorite tweet below!

Funniest questions I saw were here: http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2011/07/questions-so-many-questions.html

Here are a few of them:

"An $8 billion high speed train leaves Chicago for Iowa City at 8:15am at 40mph. Why?

If shovel-ready projects create jobs, wouldn't spoon-ready projects create even more jobs?

How come you haven't made unemployment illegal? #duh

Instead of making cars get 62 mpg, why not 62 million mpg? Also, do something about the gravitational constant.

Don't you just hate going through those TSA lines? And hey, what about that airline food?

Serious question: what's the biggest hardship you've ever dealt with in your life?

Have you ever had a menial job, changed your own oil, or fixed a toilet?

Wish the President hadn't participated in this stunt. I do think it would be great to follow him and read his Tweets. Just don't think TV is an appropriate forum for Tweeting.

[centsable]

07:44 PM on 07/07/2011

I thought the funniest tweet was from Boehner..."Where are the jobs", when his party ran on jobs, jobs, jobs, but haven't produced one...now that's funny!!!

[DoNotDigress]

07:36 PM on 07/07/2011

Perhaps there were funny ones asked but whoever compiled this list didn't "get" them.

Asking to bring back Firefly is a serious question imo and deserves an answer. ;)

[jena132]

10:25 PM on 07/07/2011

I agree! Goes along with the kardashian one.....all kinds of junk like that, yet Firefly was cancelled.

disappointing silly questions asked by old people mostly about tv shows- no wonder the gop's got the two women, it's all about the pixel pictures

[Broknrekord3]

06:14 PM on 07/07/2011

I had hoped for better. Not bad, but not actual laugh out loud funny.

Boehner invaded the Twitter Townhall? Just another in a series of all time lows!

[Passenger57]

08:06 PM on 07/07/2011

Obama should have said, "When you guys won the House, you said you were going to listen to the American people - what happened? Would you like to continue this talk...?"

[Matt Herren]

02:33 PM on 07/10/2011

Obviously staged.

[Golfrrs]

05:55 PM on 07/07/2011

This is not hard to believe from a contry so low in education.

[Cibeles]

06:35 PM on 07/07/2011

Aw man, you almost had it until you got to "a contry". Don't typos suck?

[blytzd]

08:06 PM on 07/07/2011

It is a contry when the repubs control Congress.
