How often do you have questions about the inner workings of our political system? How often do you get a chance to have those questions answered by two high-ranking White House advisers? Not very often. Although Congress passed a major student-loan bill this month, health care was getting all the attention. Most students really don't know how this bill will affect them.
In an apparent attempt to fulfill their promise of transparency, and in continuation with their dominance of political technology, the White House team (WhiteHouse.gov) is teaming up with the Huffington Post to present a 30 minute video chat with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and the White House's top domestic national policy adviser, Melody Barnes. They're calling it "Open For Questions".

Check it out for yourself after the jump, and maybe that hangover you had over break won't seem quite as bad.
