John Green Streaming Live Google Hangout With President Obama

Phil DeFranco isn’t the only YouTube big shot with Google+ access to the Oval Office. John Green, the more literary member of the Vlogbrothers, is the host of a live Google+ Hangout featuring President Obama.

The Hangout, beginning at 4:50 EST, will feature the United States’ fearless leader taking fan submitted questions, with Green serving as a sort of middleman. The vlogbrother and author had plenty of nerves about his hosting duties, if his Twitter account is to be believed, but he has nothing to worry about; the President is a pretty easygoing guy. I don’t think he’ll mind the cold sore that John talks about in his introductory video for the event.
