After President Obama sat down with Sway Calloway last Friday to respond to young voters’ concerns about jobs, LGBT rights and the health care, Andrew Jenks asked a group of young voters from Georgetown University how they felt about what the president said.

Evan Monod praised the president’s discussion of the Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare.
