VOA News
After President Obama's annual State of the Union address, VOA had a chance to chat by Google Hangout with five international students.

We wanted to get their impressions of the speech and their thoughts on U.S. policy as it relates to their home countries and their lives. 

Take a look at the replay of the hangout and let us know what you thought about the State of the Union speech. 



We'd like to thank Abdou Gassama (The Gambia), Abuzar Royesh (Afghanistan),  Vivian Deng (China), Linda Kugblenu (Ghana) and Phillip Dube (Zimbabwe) and for taking the time to join us.

If you'd like to join VOA in future Hangouts, please let us know in the comments or visit us on Google Plus.
