This afternoon, President Priorities will be sitting down with Zillow.com CEO Spencer Rascoff to rap about housing policy:

Nothing phony about that! And clearly we can expect tough questions with this guy hosting the discussion:
Which tie? Help me out, twitter. #AskObamaHousing pic.twitter.com/PJza2PBFJ1

For the sartorially curious, I went with the green tie. #AskObamaHousing

That’s just great. No doubt President Obama will totally dig it and stuff. But while Rascoff maintains a laser-like focus on his fashion choices, these Tweeters are busy hijacking the #AskObamaHousing hashtag to demand answers to real questions:
How is it fair to take from my retirement savings to reduce another person's mortgage principal? #askObamaHousing

Heh. For starters, how about not promising to not let a city go bankrupt?
Mr President do you think its wise to go golfing over 100 times while millions of Americans are unemployed? #askobamahousing

#AskObamaHousing our family stays within a budget. Why can't the government?

Do these questions make you uncomfortable, Mr. President? Perhaps you’d rather focus on “phony” issues:
#AskObamaHousing: How do you explain the fact that the threat from an allegedly decimated enemy caused the shut down of 19 Embassies?

#AskObamaHousing Can you answer questions about Benghazi next?

Mr President why do you continue to insult #Benghazi survivors by calling it a phony scandal. #askobamahousing

Will you be thinking about this as you vacation in Martha's Vineyard? #AskObamaHousing
