Obama teams up with Google for ‘Presidential Hangout road trip’

President Obama typically travels across the country following his annual State of the Union address.

But, this year, the President is also coming to a Google+ Hangout near you.

On Friday, January 31, three days after he addresses Congress, the President will take questions from people across the country in various Google+ Hangouts, which the teach giant is promoting as “the first-ever Presidential Hangout road trip.”

“President Obama will ‘travel’ the country in a virtual whistlestop tour,” wrote Ramya Raghavan, head of Google+ politics and causes, in a blog post announcing the event. “He’ll hop into Google+ Hangouts with people from across the United States to answer their questions and hear their thoughts about the topics he addressed in his speech.”

Google prompted potential questioners to record a 60-second video with their name, location, a little about themselves, and the question they’d like to ask. They should then post it publicly to YouTube or Google+ with the hashtag #AskObama2014.

President Obama previously participated in a “fireside Hangout” following last year’s State of the Union address.
