President Barack Obama, fresh off fielding the questions of Northern Virginians, will hold a Facebook town hall event this afternoon from California — and he wants your questions! The theme of the event is “Shared Responsibility and Shared Prosperity” — hmm, shared prosperity, eh? Sounds like the perfect opportunity to ask him why he felt the need to sell out the District on abortion funding, even though more income taxes go to our city than to his home/office.

Alright, so the chances of a question about D.C. voting rights getting through to Obama during today’s town hall are probably not very good. But it’s not like the idea is any less silly than believing that flashing “Mr. President. Demand D.C. Voting Rights” on an electronic sign outside the Wilson Building will force Obama into immediate action.
