Tuesday Video: Obama talks about climate change on MTV

What did MTV DJ Sway do that journalists like Jim Lehrer, Martha Raddatz, Candy Crowley, Bob Schieffer couldn't? He asked the President a question on climate change.  "Until this year, global climate change has been discussed in every presidential debate since 1988," Sway said, sitting with Obama in the White House's Blue Room.  "It was a big part of your previous campaign but has been pushed back on the back burner. Given the urgency of the threat, do you feel that we're moving quickly enough on this issue, number one? And number two, Samatha from New Jersey wants to know, what will you do to make it a priority?" Obama's response is after the jump.
