As stated in the reddit thread... He's currently out and about in Virginia - So this is a staffer pretending to be him. Sad.

  As stated in the top of the thread: "UPDATE: Hey everybody - this is barack. Just finished a great rally in Charlottesville" So he's doing it while on the road. This pic shows he's obviously in some kind of temp office/building: http://i.imgur.com/oz0a7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/oz0a7.jpg

    I just realized that they covered that Macbook's Apple symbol with a Reddit alien. Chances of this being a staffers computer...rising. But then again, AllThingsD has an email from Alexis (admin) that says that this has apparently been floated for years and they were notified before hand. http://allthingsd.com/20120829/how-reddit-got-obama-there-are-quite-a-few-redditors-at-1600-pennsylvania-ave/ http://allthingsd.com/20120829/how-reddit-got-obama-there-ar...

      Is it possible that someone from Reddit was on site and set up the "office" and everything, provided the Macbook with the Reddit alien, to make sure the POTUS would have a smooth Reddit experience? I doubt this was a spontaneous thing. If it was a staffer, he must be very good at impersonation, the style of the answers was VERY close to Obama's unscripted Q&A sessions.

    Also, the mouse is on the left side of the laptop -- and according to the almighty Wikipedia[1], Obama is left-handed -- so +1 for authenticity. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness_of_Presidents_of_the_United_States http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness_of_Presidents_of_the...

  It's weird that there has to be a pointless conspiracy theory about everything.
