Buzzfeed Editor To Interview President Obama Tuesday. Tell us your toughest questions.

Buzzfeed Editor Ben Smith will interview President Obama on Tuesday, marking the first presidential interview for the website, CNN reported on Sunday.

"BuzzFeed News has had our share of big stories and big interviews, but this will be our first interview with a sitting president of the United States," Smith wrote in a Sunday announcement on Buzzfeed. "It’s a nice tribute to the work my colleagues have done to take this place from an ambitious, zany experiment to one of the most ambitious new news and media organizations in the world."

According to Smith, Buzzfeed will ask readers to submit questions for the president. BuzzFeed Motion Pictures will also film a video with Obama.

Otherwise, I want to know what Obama thinks disabled should live on during the 3 years they wait for an SSI application to process, since if they could hold down a job that would disqualify them from SSI.
