Fireside
Hangouts: Join President Obama on
Google after the
State of the Union
When
President Obama heads to a joint session of Congress tomorrow night, he’ll be ho**ring the 200-year old tradition of delivering the
State of the
Union to Congress and the American people. Two days later, the
President will turn to
Google to continue a
more recent tradition, by taking
questions online after his speech. You can tune in to the Hangout this Thursday at 4:50 p.m. ET.
Much like the
Fireside Hangouts held by
Vice President Biden and Domestic Policy Director
Cecilia Mu**z over the past few weeks, the President’s
Fireside Hangout will include a group of people who regularly discuss important issues of the day online. During the conversation, the selected participants will ask the
President their own questions—but we’d also like to hear from you before the Hangout. To let the
President k**w what’s on your mind, head to the White House YouTube channel and submit a video or text question. You can submit or vote on questions you’d like to hear him address until 11:59 p.m. ET on Wednesday, February 13.
Looking for inspiration for your question? Watch the President’s
State of the
Union speech
on YouTube tomorrow night at 9 p.m. ET, as well as the Republican response from Senator Marco Rubio directly afterwards.
Then tune in to Thursday’s
Fireside Hangout on the
White House Google+ page or
YouTube channel for a unique online discussion between the
President and the American people on Google+.
