Obama Replies To Questions From YouTube Users
Yesterday US President Barack Obama gave his precious time to YouTube users for answering their questions. The 40-minute event with the Obama, who relied mainly on the Internet during his election campaign, was live-streamed on the biggest video-sharing site YouTube and the official White House website. Thousands of YouTube users took part and had more than 11,000 questions for the president on wide range of issues including jobs, the economy, health care, foreign policy, energy, the environment, education and financial and government reform.
According to AFP -
One of the most popular questions concerned legalization of marijuana as lobbying groups — as they have done with previous open Internet forums — mobilized their supporters to flood YouTube with submissions. Obama was asked his view on legalization of marijuana at a similar forum last year involving questions submitted by the public online, but the question was not among those asked on Monday. Obama, at the end of the YouTube interview, said he hopes to be able to repeat the experience “on a more regular basis, because it gives me great access to all the people out there with wonderful ideas.”
YouTube users then voted for their favorite questions and some of the top vote-getting video questions were shown to Obama by Steve Grove, the head of news and politics at Google-owned YouTube. Do check The YouTube Interview with President Obama video.
