Have Something to Say to Barack Obama?

The White House has asked Patch to extend an invitation to our readers to submit questions to the President and his administration. The White House will pick the five best questions from across the country and provide video responses (though it's still a bit unclear if the answers will come from the President himself.) In any case, this is an unprecedented opportunity for La Jolla residents to have their voices heard in the highest corridors of power. I suggest we take it.

All you have to do is provide the following:

• Name of person submitting question
• City, State
• Twitter handle of submitter (if applicable)
• Your question

You can add them to our comment section or send them directly to michelle.mowad@patch.com. The deadline is noon tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan 25. It's not often the average citizen gets a chance to speak truth to power. Let's seize the day.

If you're struggling with what to ask, maybe this will help get the civic juices flowing. President Barack Obama spoke to the nation tonight in his State of the Union. 

If you missed it. You can watch the President's complete State of the Union address in the video above.
