Tonight, President Obama, with the support of over half of the nation, will deliver the first State of the Union address of his second term, and sources are expecting the president to discuss subjects like immigration reform, gun control, the economy, Afghanistan, job creation, education, and climate change.

After the address, the White House will be hosting a virtual “Open for Questions” marathon via its social networks: Facebook, G+, & Youtube and those wanting their questions heard can submit them on Twitter using the hashtags: #WHChat & #SOTU. This series will feature a number of spokespersons from the administration answering questions and providing commentary about the issues the president will raise this evening.

If the polls of what people want the president to speak about indicate anything, the President will spend much of this address discussing strategies for improving the economy and increasing job growth despite the looming threat of sequestration.
