There’s a little over an hour before President Obama will take the stage and deliver his State of the Union. What better way to get yourself ready than seeing how he wrote the thing? 

And thanks to Facebook, YouTube and Google+, you can watch the address online, ask the president a question (he’ll answer top questions on January 30th in his first Google+ hangout) and hear the Republican response. 

Technology presents us with a lot more options than just adjusting the bunny ears and finding a seat in front of the set. Even if that’s what you plan on doing, you’ll probably have smart phone in hand to tweet your responses (or at least that’s what they’ll be doing over at Mashable).
