Meet the ...wait, no correspondents? Yay!

President Obama, in one of his most progressive moments, held his "online town hall" called Open For Questions. Anybody was encouraged to submit and vote for questions to the president, who answered a good chunk of those questions in front of a live audience. Imagine George W. Bush trying to stammer through that. Pity that the online swarm pushed questions about legalizing pot to the fore, though Obama did call "them" out.

"I don't know what this says about the online audience," he said with a smile, adding that he opposed legalizing the illicit drug.

That's how you do a dignified smackdown.
