By Leave a Comment

The current President of the United States, Barack Obama will be on Google+ to answers questions after the State of the Union presentation.

Definitely something to boast about, Google announced that the president will be holding his second Hangout on Thursday, February the 14th at 4:50pm EST. This get together will allow Americans to submit any questions regarding the address to Congress on Tuesday night or other issues right on the White House YouTube channel! There will also be several other respected panel members who discuss significant daily concerns online.

Interested parties can submit either a text based question or a video to the President. People can then vote on which questions they feel the President should answer up until 11:59pm EST Wednesday, February 13th. Those whose questions are picked will actually get to ask the President their inquiry in real time during the Google Hangout.

If you’re looking for a good question or want to stay on top of current concerns then it may be wise to watch the President’s State of the Union speech tomorrow at 9pm EST on YouTube.

Obama’s first Hangout was over a year ago on January 30th, 2012 and the social network’s team was quite nervous about the session exclaiming that you can’t just walk into the White House and set up computer equipment. There were a few glitches in the beginning but the public broadcast ended up being successful with a running time of just over 49 minutes.

This Google Hangout session can be found on either the White House Google+ page or on their YouTube channel.

White House Denies Petition To Construct Death Star

By Leave a Comment

Building the massive space station was in the running until the US Government shattered the desires of at 30 000 people who signed the petition and probably thousands more that didn’t. The White House has a petition website where a Colorado man filed to have the Death Star made a reality. Arguments were made such as: “By focusing our defense resources into a space-superiority platform and weapon system such as a Death Star, the government can spur job creation in the fields of construction, engineering, space exploration, and more, and strengthen our national defense”. There were enough supports to actually reach the White House’s ears/desk and rather than promptly throwing in the trash, they responded with some very clever arguments of their own.

Big Death Star

Paul Shawcross who is Chief of the Science and Space Branch at the White House Office of Management and Budget cited the following reasons why this project won’t see the light of day anytime soon:

  • The construction of the Death Star has been estimated to cost more than $850,000,000,000,000,000. We’re working hard to reduce the deficit, not expand it.
  • The Administration does not support blowing up planets.
  • Why would we spend countless taxpayer dollars on a Death Star with a fundamental flaw that can be exploited by a one-man starship?”

That deserves a giggle and perhaps an applaud for being witty in addition to showing character rather than brushing the matter off. Hat’s off to you Mr. Shawcross.
