Change.gov

For the first time (to my knowledge) the President-Elect has set up a website to let the public know what exactly is happening with his transition into the White House. I truly believe that this is the type of transparency that we can expect from the Obama administration. No more secret courts (or no courts at all), no more files being specially classified above Top Secret by the VP, instead we will be able to utilize the Internet to turn the White House see through.

The website is great. Very slick, in that true Obama fashion. I think my favorite part is the Weekly Youtube Addresses. This is the perfect example of the direction that Obama is moving, he will be able to engage the youth and the apethetic segements of the population much more readily. I mean lets be honest if you spend too much of your time just trolling through Youtube clips odds are you are not politically engaged. This is the message that Obama is sending out to America, he will be the president for everyone.
