The White House released a video Thursday of YouTube stars at the White House talking about health care, one of whom delivered his impression directly to the president.

“Either I can get to work or you can. You can take a lunch break, and I can take an hour. Fill in for you. But listen, I’m just happy to be here, happy to shake your hand,” Iman Crosson, known as Alphacat, told the president in the video, mimicking Obama’s voice and mannerisms.
Obama laughed and as he shook Crosson’s hand, gave him a tip on improving his impression.
“You’re going to have to get some gray hair,” Obama said. “I used to look like you.”
Crosson called the experience “mindblowing.”
The YouTube personality was at the White House on Feb. 27 with a handful of other viral stars. The video shows some of their meeting with the president and their thoughts on Obamacare, including why they’re pitching their friends and followers to get covered under the Affordable Care Act.
