President elect Barack Obama and Vice President elect Joe Biden’s official website, Change.gov, has been launched. I’ve visited Whitehouse.gov several times over the years. It’s pretty much a news portal. Not Change.gov.
There’s a blog. Imagine — an official Presidential blog. I only hope that it stays in place and is used to its fullest potential over the next four years.
There are clear definitions for our country’s immediate problems: the economy, the war in Iraq, healthcare, security and The USA’s role in the world. Each offers initial steps towards a resolution and gives readers an opportunity to share their own ideas. Another page asks, “Where should we start together?”
When I consider that, and President Elect Obama’s agenda for technology, I feel awed. As a public servant, the President ought to provide his people with a forum. Still, this blows me away.
Change indeed.
