The "Join the Discussion" post does have real comments that you can read, but it's just that one post. Frustrating navigation. Still, there are bigger fish to fry and if this is my biggest complaint, we're doing pretty well.

Also all the links under Agenda have the same thing in the blue box. I can't find anywhere to read comments though, other than the your seat at the table page. “submit your ideas” is embedded in the text of some posts.

Of course, I'm sure that our complaints will be branded as left-wing hysteria, and we will be told by Steve Hildebrand "first let's get our economy moving, bring our troops home safely, fix health care, end climate change and restore our place in the world" before they fix their comment policy. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/steve-hildebrand/a-message-to-obamas-progr_b_149089.html As you know (because it was my voiced frustration which led to your Quixotic comment quest), I had the same experience.
