pos obama says weed has a good future...LOL - Video
President Barack Obama appeared on YouTube to answer questions from three of the video websites personalities in an effort to draw attention to priorities from his State of the Union speech and bypass conventional media.
Obama, speaking with hosts of three YouTube channels from the White Houses East Room for about 45 minutes on Thursday, discussed Cuba policy, gay marriage, marijuana legalization, drones and his most desired super power: the ability to speak any language.
Obamas appearance on Google Inc. (GOOGL)s YouTube is part of a White House effort to connect with more Americans than those who watched the Jan. 20 speech live, or saw news coverage. The administration also posted a copy of his entire speech online before Obama began talking and detailed one of his proposals on Facebook the week before.
More and more there are audiences that get turned off by the traditional news shows, Obama told the YouTube hosts, GloZell Green, Hank Green and Bethany Mota, after they concluded one-on-one sessions with him.
Obama defended his executive actions to normalize relations with Cuba.
Not everybody in Cuba is able to escape to the United States, he said. The goal in Cuba is to make sure theres freedom in Cuba, not just for the people who came to the U.S.
Obama reiterated his support for gay marriage while calling same-sex relationships a lifestyle choice.
During the interviews, each YouTube host talked about himself and presented Obama with a token gift or asked for an autograph or photo.
It is an effort to engage with as many Americans as possible, White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Thursday aboard Air Force One.
YouTube channels run by the three people with whom Obama appeared reach nearly 19 million followers, according to statistics provided by Google, which owns the YouTube video service.

Obama Appears on YouTube to Advance State of Union Priorities
President Barack Obama, in what he said was the fourth quarter of his presidency, stood on a stage set upon a football field and made the pitch that his policies still have a chance even with Republican control of Congress.
Standing in front of a banner reading Middle-Class Economics, Obama said Idaho, a state that only gave him about a third of the vote both times he ran for president, was an example for the nation on investing in technology and education, two key parts of Obamas economic platform.
Those are things that, traditionally, all of us can agree on, Obama said Wednesday. He conceded theres a big divide on how to pay for it.
Obama and Congress already are preparing to engage in several funding fights this year, starting with appropriations for the Homeland Security Department, which expire at the end of February, a transportation funding bill in May, and the federal debt limit later in the year.
Obamas stop in Boise is his first on a two-day, two-state trip planned to put emphasis on the message he delivered Tuesday in his State of the Union address and an agenda for his final two years in office.
Aides said the visits to Idaho and Kansas, two states dominated by the Republican Party and which he lost by wide margins in the 2008 and 2012 elections, were intended to show that some of the economic proposals hes making have bipartisan support.
The speeches, at Boise State University on Wednesday and the University of Kansas on Thursday, also put him in front of audiences of college students, a core constituency for the president. The cheering Boise throng of about 6,600 stood in contrast to the U.S. House chamber hed addressed less than 24 hours before, where more than half of lawmakers ignored the applause lines in his speech.
We have to make these investments, he said, noting that government funds build roads and ports.
Obama said his plans would be paid for in part through changes in the tax code. The president and Republicans both have said they want to revamp the tax system to simplify it and close loopholes, though theyre far apart on the details.
Taking a tour on the campus, Obama stood in front of a 3-D printer in a Boise State engineering lab as technicians explained the mechanics of making prototypes. They showed him creations meant to mimic motorcycle parts and a printout of a patients human spine used to help surgeons identify problems before surgery.
