One thing of which this administration is particularly proud is its digital outreach programs, which took another step this week when the White House officially joined Snapchat, just in time for the State of the Union address.

However, President Obama will log on to good old Twitter tomorrow to interact with the masses and answer any questions that might remain following his final State of the Union.
Pres now heads from Omaha to Baton Rouge where tomorrow he has a Town Meeting then and goes online for a Q&A on @twitter at 1130am/CT.

Last night, @POTUS laid out a vision for America's future. Tomorrow, he'll answer your questions on #AskPOTUS. pic.twitter.com/NgbjRC8KZR

The president’s history with Twitter Q&As isn’t the best. A session dedicated to Obamacare ended up in a discussion of adding peas to guacamole, and a climate change Q&A answered such scientific queries as, “Will J.R. Smith heat up enough in the finals to destroy the O-Zone and the Warriors?”
Tomorrow’s session seems like a free-for-all and questions are already flooding Twitter, so get your question in now, tagged with #AskPOTUS.
@WhiteHouse @POTUS One question: Can you please leave early?

We all know the president can’t resist a good basketball question.
I mean, what would happen if you blocked Obama's shot? Do you get fired? @POTUS #AskPOTUS @FLOTUS https://t.co/CqttbIX0bJ
