Can the moderators actually enforce a rule that the comments have to be relate the topic that was posted, so spammed thread don't be pushed to the top.

Well from what I understand he is not, and even so does that matter. like 0.6% of Murica is of the Muslim faith, or something like that. (Don't quote that percent)

Don't bother, it's just more of that xenophobic bullshit that Fox news and the GOP try to instill in our brains. Because if it isn't white, right, and jesus lovin' it ain't good. sigh.

[linuxnutcase]

got to love the comment

[Geekazoid]

Yeah, I work with some of the smartest most diverse tech enthusiasts that I have ever known. Makes for a great time.

Haha, nice! Good for you.

[EpicGeekonFire]

Well at least he's supporting it, kids could always use motivation for education.

Finally, somebody who supports my opinion. 90% of the comments here were political and not tech aspects of this.

[Lazmarr]

can he code a decent healthcare system?

What's wrong with the healthcare system he's trying to provide to ALL people; isn't it trying to be like the UK health care system?

[Silent_Xaxal]

So how's the mess that is the current government? And the guy apparently needs the good publicity since he is now implicated into even more problematic shit than what Bush was ever implicated in.

Yeah...ok

[Guest Kloaked]

What are your thoughts? Think America's president is cool now?

I don't want a cool President.

[geforceftw]

I wonder if he will start coding for the NSA.

[Trik'Stari]

Yeah...ok

Sarcasm, agreement, or denial?

 

On a separate note:

 

Yeah, seriously. Lets forget the whole Bengazi thing, possible voter fraud (although that doesn't involve just him. That one is on the entire system, both parties.) Using the IRS as a political weapon, Using the NSA as a political weapon, the health care "law", lowering most of the country to 30 hours a week to make the unemployment rate "drop", violating constitutional powers, race baiting, false claims of supporting net neutrality, bullying just about every journalist under the sun, and probably more that I am forgetting.

 

He can code.....woopdie-fucking-doo.

 

Oh, I almost forgot: releasing enemy combatants, screwing up a war (that was already screwed up to begin with) in the worst possible way, firing most military commanders that have any combat experience, releasing illegal immigrants from prison that happen to be guilty of a hell of a lot more than illegally immigrating.

[mikeeginger]

It's nice to see that he has some what of a understanding 

that computers are useful ummm

[Biggerisbetter]

He should be fixing the mess that we call America, not learning how to code!

Its the American people that makes this country such a mess and you cont fix people.

[frostin1990]

Lol people still fall for this guys PR stunts and how can you not expect this to turn into a political discussion after he said this 

"I'm going to bring back our troops from middle east within one year"

"i'm going to shut down guantanamo bay"

 

CHA CHA CHA CHANGE- HyunA

[ForsakenLive]

He probably made it so cheesy for the news that he wrote "Hello America" instead of "hello world"...

[wpirobotbuilder]

Props to the President, most people don't know anything about coding.

 

cool...so how's that national deficit thing coming?

It still makes sense to run a deficit. Our economy grows faster than the debt we accumulate.

[armandoafros]

no hes not cool hes still ruining are county.

[zacRupnow]

cool...so how's that national deficit thing coming?

That must be why he's learning code

[spartaman64]

Bush: "We can have filters on internets ..." "I hear there's rumors on the, uh internets ..."Al Gore claims to have invented the internets"

The republican house did an investigation and concluded there was no cover up at bengazi. also the IRS investigated both republican and democratic groups as it is their job. america is the only developed country without national healthcare about time we did something to fix that. and everything he is doing is within the constitution and believe me if he steps out of line for a second the republicans will be on top of him in a heart beat. Him allowing the NSA to continue and not doing more to support net neutrality are good points though.

[spartaman64]

cool...so how's that national deficit thing coming?

he lowered it to 483 billion down from bush's 1.4 trillion

[Zeruel]

Lets see him do stacks and queues, lets add some Binary search trees in there too

[ygohome]

Congrats Mr President!  Next up... "Hello World."
