Tonight, U.S. President Barack Obama is slated to address America from the Oval Office via a live stream on YouTube, a speech during which he is expected to announce the end of the U.S. combat role in Iraq. Before you check out the live stream tonight at 8 p.m. EST, YouTube is offering you the opportunity to ask the White House follow-up questions via its Moderator function. The speech will also be stored on YouTube’s CitizenTube , should you happen to miss it tonight. Check out the above video from the YouTube Blog for more info. This isn’t the first time a speech has been streamed live from the Oval Office. A few months ago, President Obama spoke to the American public with regard to the Gulf oil spill . YouTube also allowed viewers to submit questions to the president during the State of the Union Address , which he later answered on the video-sharing site. As more and more of these events occur online, one can only imagine the historical archive that YouTube will amass.
