| Janaury 25, 2012 Thanks to everyone who participated in the White House Tweet-Up during and after the State of the Union last night! Your support is what made this event such a success.

I’m sure you were just as disappointed as we were that President Obama barely scratched the surface on global challenges, devoting only 13% of his address to international affairs. His limited remarks on our strong military relationship with Israel, the assassination of Osama Bin Laden, and keeping all options on the table when dealing with Iran left a lot to be desired.
But you have another opportunity to tell the White House what challenges facing the world concern you the most. This Friday, Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting Ben Rhodes will be taking your questions on Twitter from 11 am -12 pm EST. If you’re concerned about climate change and the environment, join the conversation with Heather Zichal, Deputy Assistant to the President for Energy & Climate Change and Dan Utech, Deputy Director of Energy Policy on Friday from 2-3 pm EST. Tweet questions using #WHChat and follow the conversation on @WHLive or post your questions to @CGS_DC on Twitter or the CGS Facebook page and Julia S. and Julia B. will ask your questions. For more information, go to the White House website.
On Monday, President Obama will be answering questions live on Google+ Hangout. From now until January 28 at 12 am EST, you can submit your questions on the White House You Tube channel and vote for your favorites to get an answer from the President on the issues that you care about. You could be one of the lucky few participants chosen to join the Google+ Hangout to ask your question to President Obama live!
With one powerful voice, we can tell the White House that we need international cooperation to ensure not only our own success, but shared prosperity for the world.
Thanks for all you do,
Amanda B.
