In previous years there have been YouTube stars that have gone to The White House and met the President. But now the video site on the top of the world is having some of its stars actually interview President Obama.

(Preview for the Interview Below)

There have been three channels or personalities if you will selected to interview the President. Bethany Mota, GloZell, and Hank Green are all lined up to sit down the President.

The White House some may not know has their own channel and are posting to it every day. Recently 2014 NBA Champion's the San Antonio Spurs visited the White House as it custom after winning a big trophy.

A video of the event is up on the channel and great unknown content like this is being posted every day.

I think everyone in the media dreams to one day sit down with the President. These big YouTube creators probably wont sleep the night before knowing the task ahead of them.

Recently Obama has launched two new ventures that come very close to not only YouTube but the younger generation in general. First off there is the topic of Affordable High-Speed Broadband for All Americans.

The idea being that high school kids especially will have better more affordable access to faster connection in order to complete assignments in a more timely fashion.

Also recently announced is the plan to make going to Community College a free opportunity in this country. Obama is very passionate about this idea and wants the first two years of Community College to be free to anyone who is willing to work for it.

Both of these reforms will be explained further in the upcoming State of the Union Address airing on Monday, January 20th at 9pm.

Certainly all of these videos on the White house channel are a sort of preview for the big talk quickly approaching. The YouTube interview though will take place on the 22nd of January.

The three lucky stars might be asking about the State of Union Address among other topics.

Fans of the stars can suggest questions to possibly ask. YouTube is going to use #YouTubeAsksObama to give the people a chance to ask the President something themselves.
