Zack Lane, student of University of Colorado, Boulder, stood up to ask the president a question at a recent townhall in Colorado. I’ll let you be the judge. Lane says he doesn’t want philosophical arguments or generalities; he just wants a straight answer to his question:

Obama’s answer? I’ll leave that up to you. Can you please tell me what it was? All I heard were philosophical arguments and generalities like Zack asked for. What was Obama’s direct answer to his question?
