President Barack Obama appeared live on MTV to answer questions from young voters submitted on Facebook on Friday.
According to Entertainment Weekly, MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway conducted the interview held at the White House and provided the president with questions about the job market, student debt, marriage equality and climate change.
"This is an issue that future generations, MTV Viewers, are going to have to deal with even more than the older generation is. So this is a critical issue and there's huge contrast in this campaign between myself and Governor Romney. [Romney] says he believes in climate change, but he says he's not sure that manmade causes are the reason…. I believe scientists who say we're putting too much carbon emissions into the atmosphere and it's heating the planet and it's going to have a severe effect," Obama said when asked about climate change, as quoted by ABC News.
On the topic of marriage equality, Entertainment Weekly quoted the president saying, "For us to try to delegate federally in this area is probably the wrong way to go." He announced his support for same-sex marriage in May and during the MTV interview he supported his position that marriages should be a state level decision.
During the end of the interview, Calloway asked questions that brought out Obama's fatherly side. When asked about whether he was more worried about Malia getting her driver's license, dating, or using Facebook, the president answered Facebook.
"I want [my daughters] to be with men who respect them, value them, and understand their worth," Obama continued on to say, as quoted by Entertainment Weekly.
This was just one of the interviews the President has been doing with less than 12 days until the election.
