You're watching multi-source video political news analysis from Newsy. 

Social networking sites aren’t just for posting pictures and casual conversation anymore. Now it’s a campaign tool. President Obama took to Google Plus Monday night to talk with a handful of voters. KMSP in Minneapolis highlights some of last night’s conversation.

"He said his most important job right now is to grow the economy. He wants to do that by changing tax codes to benefit companies that keep jobs right here in the US.”

The president’s hangout wasn’t just an exclusive for those who participated. The video chat was also streamed on YouTube, and more than 130,000 questions were submitted for the president’s 45 minute chat. But as Fox Business explains, one part of the conversation is getting the most media attention: The president’s remarks to a woman whose husband can’t find work.

“He looks like he’s trying to rebuild the economy one job at a time. Because he was asking one of the questioners to send him her husband’s resume”

But CNBC wonders just how much follow-through there will be on the president’s end.

“Well, I want to know what they think of his resume, has she sent it in, are they going to help?...I’m guessing the president is a fairly well-connected man and he might be able to, when you hand someone your CV, you’re asking them to put it in front of other people.”

The Fox and Friends morning crew says while it might be a nice gesture, there could be some unintended consequences for the White House mail room... and some high expectations from more Americans.

“The president is now going to give people jobs individually? I mean, I think it’s a fantastic political move but beware, you’re going to have a huge pack of mail coming because there’s a lot of people unemployed.”

The use of social media isn’t new for the president or his campaign. The National Journal explains how the motivation from the 2008 election carried through to Monday night.

“Taking questions on Google+ is part of the White House strategy to reach out to young Americans in particular. The president has previously done a Twitter town hall, and taken other questions on Facebook and YouTube.”

But as Real Clear Politics explains, there are other reasons behind the president’s interest to “hang out.”

“The event was billed in advance as a citizen interview with the president -- the kind of leap-over-the-news-media discussion favored by the president since his 2008 campaign. The Q&A provided a business plug for Google, attracted plenty of attention in the mainstream and other media, and was designed to enhance Obama’s image of transparency and populism.”

The president discussed more than just employment with his new friends. Topics ranged from serious to silly and included the United States’ use of drones, the use of comedy to influence the election, SOPA.... and lighter questions like how the president plans to spend his 20th wedding anniversary.
