On the Thursday following the State of the Union address, President Obama will spend forty-five minutes answering questions from a group of citizens that may include a homeless man, an unemployed Marine, and a high-schooler.

Technology has repeatedly disrupted the way politicians interact with their constituents and it is happening yet again. Radio's moment came in the 1940s, television upended politics in the 1960s, and now the Web is forcing politicians to connect with Americans more quickly and personally than ever before.

YouTube will not only be among the sites live streaming President Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday evening, it will also, for the second year in a row, be hosting a question and answer session with the President, to be streamed live over the Internet, during which people will have the opportunity to pose their questions about healthcare, education police, and unemployment directly to the president.

The question submission process is open to anyone, and the final list of questions that Obama will answer will be determined based on the number of votes each one receives. Over 14,000 questions were submitted last year, the first year YouTube hosted the interview with the president, and over 5,000 have been uploaded so far this year (Learn more about submitting a question here). This year it will also be possible to submit questions via Twitter using the hashtag "#AskObama."

YouTube's Q&A allows Americans to be among the first to question Obama about his State of the Union address, while also providing the president with a platform to broadcast his message, in his own words, directly to voters.

"It's an unlikely audience that will have the chance to be brought into the White House on a video screen to talk to president," said Steve Grove, YouTube's head of news and politics. "People have the chance to access the White House in a very democratic way right after the year's most important speech."

The conversation with Obama is part of a series of interviews with world leaders that YouTube will be hosting, a program that marks the continued blurring of the lines between YouTube-as-platform and YouTube-as-content-creator. The video-sharing website was reportedly in talks to acquire Next New Networks, a producer of Web content that could potentially grow the original content produced by YouTube.


The State of the Union address this evening underscored the limitations of watching live video from the front pages of major U.S. publications on Apple's iOS devices and why Flash is the default video streaming technology.
This is the message I got on more than a few major media Web sites when trying to watch a live video stream of the State of the Union on my iPad.

This is the message I got on more than a few major media Web sites when trying to watch a live video stream of the State of the Union on my iPad.

In my case, I was trying to watch President Obama's speech on my iPad and found that almost every major U.S. national newspaper could not provide a live feed from their front door, generating messages like "this content is only available in Flash" or "This feature is optimized for Adobe Flash Player version 9 or higher."

Yes, this is a known issue for Flash-less iOS devices. And, of course, there are plenty of ways to watch a live feed of an event like the State of the Union on an iPad or iPhone. But the fact that the intuitive act of going to a publication's front page and watching a live stream--like you would do on a laptop, for instance--was impossible in some cases on the iPad, did not exactly inspire confidence in the state of the iOS video platform.

I cross-checked this on my MacBook. I was able to watch the address pretty much instantly on all of those same sites--and on virtually any site where the live feed was made available.

So, is HTML5, as promoted by Apple, the next default technology for watching live video streams? Not yet. And now that we're on the subject there are some pretty important Web sites--for me, at least--where I cannot access video streams on my iOS device, including this major birding site.

Motorola's Flash-capable Xoom tablet is due next month. That tablet's dexterity at handling live Flash video streams will be test case No. 1 for me.
