ABC’s George Stephanopoulos announced yesterday that he scored an “exclusive” interview with President Obama. Only lapdogs need apply!

Heh.
Stephanopoulos asked for questions for the president.
Last call– send me your questions for President Obama. I'll be sitting down for an exclusive interview w/him later today.

Be careful what you ask for, Georgie! You see, citizens on Twitter often do the job that the media won’t. They don’t ask oh-so-insightful questions like many members of the media do. But, they do mock those kinds of questions!
@GStephanopoulos The tough questions were no doubt asked of @BarackObama during your interview. "Did you happen watch "The Bachelor, Sir?"

@GStephanopoulos ask him if its hard for him to sit with you and david gregory up his rear end.

@GStephanopoulos What's his favorite ice cream flavor?
— Roberto Castaneda (@ROBERTO415) March 12, 2013
Zing!
Then came the real questions. You know, ones that lapdogs won’t ask. Yesterday, we reported on the hijacking of #AskFLOTUS. Citizens asked Mrs. Obama about Benghazi, among other things. Yesterday marked the six month anniversary of the murders in Benghazi and many questions remain unanswered. If lapdogs won’t ask, Twitter users will.
@GStephanopoulos Just kidding… who pushed the Benghazi video?

@GStephanopoulos @abc I'd love to know why it takes an invest and 6 months to find out what the POTUS was doing during the Benghazi attack
— Matt Thayer (@HawkeyeThayer) March 12, 2013
@GStephanopoulos 6 months later why haven't we heard from any survivors of #Benghazi

@ThisWeekABC @gstephanopoulos @abc why won't @whitehouse release #Benghazi witness names to Congress????

@GStephanopoulos I am middle class. So why did my taxes go up? And answer in a way without blaming Republicans.

@GStephanopoulos Ask him if the Obama care is really they way to go. Because most of us can't event afford gas to get back and forth to work

@GStephanopoulos Why are you using so much money throwing lavish parties and taking many vacations when our country is in the toilet?

@GStephanopoulos Each private sector job adds a taxPAYER and removes a taxTAKER from economy…Why Obama does nothing to create PS jobs?

What's it like only fielding questions from loyal Democratic operatives? RT @GStephanopoulos: Send me your questions for President Obama.
— CHIcon (@theCHIcon) March 12, 2013
Boom.
Will any of those questions make it into the “interview”?
