We don’t know if President Obama is going to talk about housing in his State of the Union speech tonight, but with the economy still struggling it’ll be important to hear his take on things—and, just as importantly, there’s an opportunity for you to share your views after the speech.
The White House has announced that, as it did last year, it’s hosting a panel of advisors after the speech to answer questions about the address from a studio audience and also from you via three social media channels: Facebook, Twitter, and Google +.
It’s impossible to know how many question will actually get answered. No doubt just a tiny fraction, but that shouldn’t stop you from voicing your opinion. Apparently questions will be taken for several days after the speech, so the process won’t end tonight.
The panelists will be—
- Mark Zuckerman, deputy director of domestic policy
- Roberto Rodriguez, special assistant on domestic policy
- Brian Deese, deputy director of the National Economic Council
- Ben Rhodes, deputy national security advisor, and
- Jennifer Palmieri, deputy communications director
The speech tonight is at 9 pm,. Eastern Time. Following its conclusion, at 10 p.m., Eastern Time, you can pose your questions via twitter (use #WHChat & #SOTU) and on Facebook at the White House page, and on Google +.
If you’re not near a TV tonight, you can watch the speech on YouTube at this page.
