Yesterday, President Obama answered questions on a vast range of subjects important to Latinos, asked by a panel of representatives from three Hispanic online media outlets.
President Obama talked about a range of issues from immigration and education to Social Security and the American Jobs Act during a round table discussion with Jose Siade from Yahoo Español, Karine Medina from MSN Latino and Gabriel Lerner from AOL Latino and Huff-Post Latino Voices.
The group joined the President in the White House Map Room for an hour-long conversation that centered on the questions submitted to the Hispanic roundtable around issues that matter most to Latinos.
