Summary:
Melody Barnes, Director of the Domestic Policy Council, and Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor, answer questions submitted by youth as part of the MTV, BET, CMT live town hall.
Last week, President Obama participated in a live town hall with young people from across the country sponsored by MTV, BET, and CMT. The President took questions from young people in the audience and questions submitted via Twitter. While the President answered as many questions as he could on topics ranging from education to jobs and the economy, there were many of questions from the audience and Twitter that he didn’t have a chance to answer.
We thought it would be a good idea to follow up with answers to some of your questions that the President didn’t have a chance to answer. Check out the videos below from Melody Barnes, Director of the Domestic Policy Council, and Ben Rhodes, Deputy National Security Advisor, answering questions about education policy and foreign aid.
We’ll be posting more video answers from senior White House officials over the next week, so be sure to check back!
