I would hope Obama has better things to do than lurk on SI. Nevertheless, SI is a reflection of the real world. We've got left and right wingnuts, moderates and fanatics, geniuses and idiots. What gets written here is read by others and is just one part of a collective consensus that finds it's way into major publications, and, eventually the news digests that Obama's political advisers read. Many posters who would never dream of writing a letter to the editor will express themselves here, making these forums unique. Don't think so? A decade ago a Wall Street Journal reporter lurking on SI contacted me via SI PM. That led to a phone interview and me being quoted in a Wall Street Journal article about online trading. Don't discount the power of any media. Finally, I agree with you... Obama is the best alternative to what the other side is proposing. I just wish he could find it within himself to be a great President instead of just average. You really think all the whining on this thread is accomplishing something? What? You think Obama reads SI every day? Give me a break.
