Watch | Obama reveals his lucky charms during interview

US President Barack Obama reveals the charms he's collected from people and retains in his pocked for inspiration.

Obama was interviewed on Friday by three YouTube personalities, as he tries outreach to different audiences and looks for new ways to promote themes from his State of the Union address. One of the interviewers, Ingrid Nilsen of Los Angeles known as “Missglamorazzi,” had asked ahead of time for the president to bring a meaningful item and be prepared to talk about it.

When prompted, Obama reached into his pants pocket and pulled out the keepsakes people have given him since he started running for office.
