Asked through YouTube video submissions or live via Google+ Hangouts, these questions always bring an interesting perspective to the issues the president addresses in his speech.

This year, the First Lady is using Google+ to celebrate the anniversary of <i>Let's Move!</i> and to connect with communities on Google+ who are passionate about <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/109406525251372845354">healthy eating</a>, <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/117639885920925825176">fitness</a> and <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/108083192441390525048">parenting</a>.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnJRCSZ_IOvPznMwRD3WnVT9Y6sx4Bte7F5MGy6qFufmS6MJEDCPZ3ZAfddG40_R8HVVyWc-cD2OL4fwgJoGbXSLZRLY8QX2dsf_uwSWwTUHc3gVuh6hyFNgQYFfE9tqCgLFxu/s1600/1SzASGM0_kCSe1JKWchGo76NlY4T_j3OuKdIw.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="301" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnJRCSZ_IOvPznMwRD3WnVT9Y6sx4Bte7F5MGy6qFufmS6MJEDCPZ3ZAfddG40_R8HVVyWc-cD2OL4fwgJoGbXSLZRLY8QX2dsf_uwSWwTUHc3gVuh6hyFNgQYFfE9tqCgLFxu/s400/1SzASGM0_kCSe1JKWchGo76NlY4T_j3OuKdIw.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div> <br /> For a chance to join the Google+ Hangout with First Lady Michelle Obama, share your thoughts and questions on raising healthier families and communities on the <a href="//www.youtube.com/user/letsmove">Let's Move YouTube channel</a>.

If you missed the Hangouts live, you can also watch the recordings there and on the <a href="//www.youtube.com/jppolitics">Japan Politics YouTube Channel</a>. <br /> <br /> <span class="byline-author">Posted by Mak Arima, Country Managing Director, Google Japan </span> <span itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://plus.google.com/116899029375914044550' itemprop='url'/> </span> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class='share'> <span class='gplus-share social-wrapper' data-href='https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/japans-political-candidates-hang-out.html?hl=nl'> <img alt='Share on Google+' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/branding/google_plus/2x/ic_w_post_gplus_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='twitter-custom social-wrapper' data-href='http://twitter.com/share?text=Official Google Blog:Japan’s political candidates hang out with voters on Google+ &url=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/japans-political-candidates-hang-out.html?hl=nl&via=google'> <img alt='Share on Twitter' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_twitter_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> <span class='fb-custom social-wrapper' data-href='https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/japans-political-candidates-hang-out.html?hl=nl'> <img alt='Share on Facebook' height='24' src='https://www.gstatic.com/images/icons/material/system/2x/post_facebook_black_24dp.png' width='24'/> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='cmt_iframe_holder' data-href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/12/japans-political-candidates-hang-out.html' data-viewtype='FILTERED_POSTMOD'></div> <a href='https://plus.google.com/112374322230920073195' rel='author' style='display:none;'> Google </a> <div class='label-footer'> <span class='labels-caption'> Labels: </span> <span class='labels'> <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Asia?hl=nl' rel='tag'> Asia </a> , <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/google%2B?hl=nl' rel='tag'> google+ </a> , <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/googleplus?hl=nl' rel='tag'> googleplus </a> , <a class='label' href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/search/label/politics?hl=nl' rel='tag'> politics </a> </span> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post' data-id='2120715825353960037' itemscope='' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <h2 class='title' itemprop='name'> <a href='https://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/get-ready-to-vote-with-google.html?hl=nl' itemprop='url' title='Get Ready to Vote with Google'> Get Ready to Vote with Google </a> </h2> <div class='post-header'> <div class='published'> <span class='publishdate' itemprop='datePublished'> 29 oktober 2012 </span> </div> </div> <div class='post-body'> <div class='post-content' itemprop='articleBody'> <script type='text/template'> Every four years in the United States, people prepare to head to the polls and <a href="https://www.google.com/elections/ed/us/trends">increasingly search</a> for information about how to register to vote, where to vote and who is on their ballot.

The web is enabling many new voters to become better informed on their choice of candidates, and letting politicians reach electors in new and exciting ways. <br /> <br /> Getting information about the new rules and the new players is no small feat for Egyptians: there are nearly 11,000 candidates vying for 498 seats across 27 governorates nationwide during a multi-stage election that started today and lasts until March 2012. We’re doing our best to organize information to make it easier for voters to find everything they need in one place. For example, millions of Egyptians have learned where they can vote through our landing page, <a href="http://www.google.com.eg/elections">www.google.com.eg/elections</a>.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUuG1WShKd2hKC0ip-yLVqI0F75hKGO6qUxQeVjFbypBbLBtvvf8kSHH6bRmB8gZZpiSuWGV5Ytvgc8Rty_QliS2Xb_ocbfDM9BaXF_OBmxZsWFy79mJ8EoYfRV3za6ozkSsuB/s400/landing+page.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUuG1WShKd2hKC0ip-yLVqI0F75hKGO6qUxQeVjFbypBbLBtvvf8kSHH6bRmB8gZZpiSuWGV5Ytvgc8Rty_QliS2Xb_ocbfDM9BaXF_OBmxZsWFy79mJ8EoYfRV3za6ozkSsuB/s400/landing+page.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> We’ve also worked to give a voice to thousands of candidates to reach voters through interactive video. The <a href="//www.youtube.com/sayyedqararak">YouTube Townhall</a> includes nearly 400 videos posted by candidates and political parties explaining where they stand on issues from education and the economy to health care and political reform, sparking vibrant conversations in cafés from <a href="http://maps.google.com.eg/maps/place?ftid=0x14f5c4db4cb69e59:0xe42d42f44839b783&q=Alexandria&hl=en&ved=0CBQQ3g0&sa=X&ei=bLjTTsriJpL_8QOoqdzdBw">Alexandria</a> to <a href="http://maps.google.com.eg/maps/place?ftid=0x14367b5c59d76343:0xde8fdc9fa5c3881d&q=Aswan&hl=en&ved=0CBIQ3g0&sa=X&ei=D8DTTsb5Aonc8QOf_YiyAg">Aswan</a>.<br /> <br /> We’re helping voters and politicians connect not just in Egypt, but throughout the entire Middle East and the world.

The revolution in Egypt, which captured the attention of the world beginning in Tahrir Square on January 25, 2011, made this possible by opening the floodgates of political participation.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Rb4IqhrjKtsuskUfp-HdhGhrbCV23Rd_Tu5mlybsRhWwBj8dbp6GjQbbW_RnAwWWfhaucw4x0_wz7p2n6mWAJkhE9IS0xw6WbXTDBH9C5SFn0euUb1XfS7JeuYQquwCn1nI7/s1600/egypt+doodle.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="127" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7Rb4IqhrjKtsuskUfp-HdhGhrbCV23Rd_Tu5mlybsRhWwBj8dbp6GjQbbW_RnAwWWfhaucw4x0_wz7p2n6mWAJkhE9IS0xw6WbXTDBH9C5SFn0euUb1XfS7JeuYQquwCn1nI7/s400/egypt+doodle.jpeg" width="400" /></a></div><br /> With the free flow of information online, people can connect and engage in a open dialogue about the future of Egypt. The web is enabling many new voters to become better informed on their choice of candidates, and letting politicians reach electors in new and exciting ways. <br /> <br /> Getting information about the new rules and the new players is no small feat for Egyptians: there are nearly 11,000 candidates vying for 498 seats across 27 governorates nationwide during a multi-stage election that started today and lasts until March 2012. We’re doing our best to organize information to make it easier for voters to find everything they need in one place. For example, millions of Egyptians have learned where they can vote through our landing page, <a href="http://www.google.com.eg/elections">www.google.com.eg/elections</a>.<br /> <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUuG1WShKd2hKC0ip-yLVqI0F75hKGO6qUxQeVjFbypBbLBtvvf8kSHH6bRmB8gZZpiSuWGV5Ytvgc8Rty_QliS2Xb_ocbfDM9BaXF_OBmxZsWFy79mJ8EoYfRV3za6ozkSsuB/s400/landing+page.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUuG1WShKd2hKC0ip-yLVqI0F75hKGO6qUxQeVjFbypBbLBtvvf8kSHH6bRmB8gZZpiSuWGV5Ytvgc8Rty_QliS2Xb_ocbfDM9BaXF_OBmxZsWFy79mJ8EoYfRV3za6ozkSsuB/s400/landing+page.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /> We’ve also worked to give a voice to thousands of candidates to reach voters through interactive video. The <a href="//www.youtube.com/sayyedqararak">YouTube Townhall</a> includes nearly 400 videos posted by candidates and political parties explaining where they stand on issues from education and the economy to health care and political reform, sparking vibrant conversations in cafés from <a href="http://maps.google.com.eg/maps/place?ftid=0x14f5c4db4cb69e59:0xe42d42f44839b783&q=Alexandria&hl=en&ved=0CBQQ3g0&sa=X&ei=bLjTTsriJpL_8QOoqdzdBw">Alexandria</a> to <a href="http://maps.google.com.eg/maps/place?ftid=0x14367b5c59d76343:0xde8fdc9fa5c3881d&q=Aswan&hl=en&ved=0CBIQ3g0&sa=X&ei=D8DTTsb5Aonc8QOf_YiyAg">Aswan</a>.<br /> <br /> We’re helping voters and politicians connect not just in Egypt, but throughout the entire Middle East and the world.
