The event was live streamed on the video sharing site and the official White House. Thousand of YouTube users submitted more than 12,000 questions on YouTube. Obama had no time for answer all 12,000 questions, that’s why YouTube users then voted for their favorite questions and some of the top vote-getting video questions were shown to Obama by Steve Grove.
YouTube users submitted question on a wide range of issues including jobs, the economy, health care, foreign policy, energy, the environment, education, and financial and government reform.
YouTube users also asked about policy toward Sudan and closing the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Some question is about on free of fees, a college student said that he works three jobs and asked the president, what he is doing to make college tuition more affordable. That time US president to talk about legislation pending in the Senate that would change the way student loans are processed to increase Pell grants and add funds for community colleges. One of the most popular questions of this event is legalization of marijuana as lobbying groups—as they have done with previous open Internet forums—mobilized their supporters to flood YouTube with submissions.
