President Obama meets President Obama to discuss healthcare deadline

obama alphacatPresident Barack Obama recently met with popular YouTube stars including Iman Crossmon (“Alphacat”) who is a popular Obama impersonator on YouTube. Crossmon clearly received the presidential seal of approval, but he did have a bit of advice for Crossmon.

“You’ve got to get some gray hair tho. I use to look like you,” President Obama joked.

Then the group got down to serious business by discussing how they can help spread the word encouraging their young fans in particular to register for healthcare coverage as the March 31 deadline is looming.

Participants included: Hannah Hart, Iman Crosson (or Alphacat), Michael Stevens of Vsauce, Benny and Rafi Fine of The Fine Brothers, Mark Douglas, Todd Womack, and Ben Relles of BarelyPolitical, Peter Shuckoff and Lloyd Ahlquist of Epic Rap Battles of History: Tyler Oakley, Mickey Meyer and Daniel Kellison of Jash and Rachel Goldenberg from Funny or Die.

So, yes #GetCovered but meanwhile enjoy the video.
