TONIGHT: State of the Union Address

NewsBites — By on January 25, 2011 at 3:24 pm

White House officials recently announced new online features to accompany the live stream of President Barack Obama’s State of the Union address.

The features promise to be interactive, informative and experience-enhancing and hope to answer any questions the viewers may have during the president’s address to Congress.

“As President Obama addresses the nation, WhiteHouse.gov will offer a companion stream of visual aids, like charts and quick stats to provide context and emphasize key points,” wrote White House Director of New Media Macon Phillips on the White House blog. “Anyone will be able to use this feature by heading to WhiteHouse.gov/sotu and using the ‘Enhanced’ tab.”

The enhancements to the live stream come as part of an attempt by the White House to keep viewers informed and interactive. The State of the Union website also offers participants the option to sign up for email notifications and reminders.

Following the speech, the live stream will switch to a panel of policy experts who will answer questions submitted online.

As for the rest of the week, White House officials will be “working with a wide range of online communities to surface even more feedback about the president’s speech and the state of our union,” Phillips wrote.
The State of the Union address will be held tonight at 9 p.m. EST.

    A GLOBAL AUTHOR’S RESPONSE TO THE 2011 STATE OF UNION ADDRESS nSTATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS 2011nnPresident Barack Obama’s State of the Union address was informative, impartial, bipartisan, caring and demonstrated a genuine concern for the people who elected him to office and even those who didn’t.There is no doubt in my mind that he is a man of integrity and is doing everything humanly possible to better the living conditions of all Americans. Imagine what we could do if instead of attacking him and hurling unfair accusations at him, we responded favorably by coming to his aid by using our gifts, talents, resources, and genius abilities to solve the problems that plague our great nation. Instead, we waste valuable time, millions of tax dollars and vital energy trying to demean him, to destroy his vision and one another through character assassination. Every elected official was sent to Washington, DC, not only to represent the will of the people but to ensure that government truly benefits the people; and this can only be accomplished by working together. When Jesus was maturing into manhood he said these inspiring words: “I must be about my Father’s business (LK. 2:49).” Perhaps it is time that our Senators, Congressmen and Congresswomen be about the Father’s business as well, by doing what is truly best for the people and not just what is politically profitable for their individual parties, influential lobbyists, and the ultra rich. nnTerry Angel Mason, Global AuthornLOVE WON’T LET ME BE SILENT nWWW.TERRYANGELMASON.COMnnFOLLOW THIS BESTSELLING AUTHOR ON TWITTER nLINK: twitter.com/ALOVEBALLADnn
