White House to field vets' questions this Thursday
Published: January 24, 2012
WASHINGTON – The White House is planning a series of online follow-ups and forums after Tuesday night’s State of the Union address, including a veterans-focused session Thursday morning featuring Matt Flavin, the administration’s point person on veterans issues and wounded warrior policy.
He’ll take to Twitter around 10 a.m. on Thursday, answering messages posted with the #WHChat hashtag. White House officials said they’ll have a full transcript posted at WhiteHouse.gov later in the day and an interactive recap at their Storify site as well.
The veterans event is part of three days of Twitter sessions by administration officials expanding on the president’s annual address, expected to focus heavily on the economy and job creation initiatives. The White House will also field questions on foreign policy through the same hashtag at 11 a.m. on Thursday, and other topics later in the day.
In addition, President Barack Obama will answer questions submitted through YouTube about the speech through the White House’s new Google+ page. Individuals can submit those videos through Saturday.
