Enough already! Obama waffles on Sudan

By Zack Brisson & Laura Heaton of the Enough Poject

Four years ago, asking the President of the United States a meaningful question would have required serious power, uncommon access, or a lot of luck combined with being in the right place at the right time. Not anymore.

Thanks to CitizenTube and the connective power of the internet, any one can reach the president. The Enough Project has just done that.

Following up on last week's State of the Union address, YouTube hosted a community driven "Your State of the Union." Steve Grove, YouTube's head of news & politics, asked President Obama a wide variety of questions, submitted and selected by citizens around the country, if not the world.

At the Enough Project, the challenges in Sudan right now are incredibly important to. Recognizing that President Obama didn't address the crisis in Sudan at his State of the Union, Enough was eager to take advantage of the opportunity YouTube offered to engage directly with the president. Seeing the chance to get its concerns about an issue that is underappreciated, Enough mobilized to get its question to Mr. Obama.

Late last week, Enough videotaped its question, eloquently delivered by an intern Alison Grady. Then Enough asked our supporters, fans, partners, and others who care about the message to vote and pass the word.
