The Interview with YouTuber’s is something President Obama
started doing in 2010 as a way to speak directly with people and to hear
questions about issues that younger generations are primarily concerned about.YouTuber’s Ingrid Nelson, Destin Sandlin, and sWooZie were
able to sit down with President Obama after his State of the Union speech and
ask him question that ranged on a wide variety of topics that many young people
wonder about.
Ingrid Nelson asked President Obama her questions about curing
cancer, the tampon tax and women’s health, and progress with lgbt rights. They
had discussions about scientist being able to find the cure to cancer in the
next few decades, how the Affordable Care Act helps people get access to
healthcare who wouldn’t have it otherwise, and how the strides taken in lgbt
rights can’t be taken away but how we should all work to progress them.
Destin Sandlin talked with President Obama about really
coming together despite political parties to work at improving our country.
While we all have differences, Obama talked about not letting them divide us
but strengthen us. Destin and President Obama also talked about NASA and the
future of the space program, hopefully getting to Mars one day. Of course lots
of prep needs to happen before we are ready for that. Fun Fact: Obama’s
favorite movie last year was The Martian.
sWooZie asked President Obama what can be done with the
police violence happening to black people in America. Obama talked about how
there needs to be a task force of police
officers and people like the ones protesting in Ferguson to deal with the
problems in a serious way. These are reforms cannot be made under federal jurisdiction but President Obama can incentivize the cities to make reforms because it is what's best for those communities.
