Even as Barack Obama took the presidency Tuesday, the official White House website — Whitehouse.gov– took on a new look. “Whitehouse.gov Has A New Face, And a Blog,” reports techcrunch.com

“There are links to Obama’s Agenda and a Briefing Room where citizens will be able to find Obama’s weekly Web video address, appointments and nominations, executive orders, and slideshows.

“And, of course, there is a blog (without comments, though-understandable given all the trolls and spammers, but it seems like some kind of tiered community moderation could work here).”

They have a feedback link. Here’s what I asked them… (wonder if they will reply)

I just would like a simple answer to a question. Who in the US Government is responsible for enforcing Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the US Constitution?

Indeed it does.

Here’s a taste of what the permanent campaign and perpetual bulls**t looks like:

Katrina
President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur.

President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration’s “unconscionable ineptitude” in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims. Obama visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region. He worked with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to introduce legislation to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs of Gulf Coast communities.

I’ll buy the first person who can cite an actual “broken promise” a beer.
The reality, of course, is that as a US Senator Obama didn’t do diddly squat. The massive federal response to Katrina immediately after Pres Bush realized the local (Democratic) authorities at the city, county, and state levels were inept and incapable of handling the situation. Sure, FEMA dropped the ball too, but the first response was a local responsibility. Pretending otherwise is an insult to the intelligence and a shameless disregard for the truth.

Slandering his immediate predecessor and taking credit for the hard work of others is the last thing one would expect from a President who supposedly wants “reconciliation”.

Speaking of PR and permanent campaign websites, what’s become of that awesomely official “Office of the President Elect.org”?

So was this just an Axelrod PR gimmick designed soley for Obama or do you think the next president elect will also employ official sounding but fake titles and logos?

come on! why is it in the bailout bill that state legislators can override governors rejection of stimulus money. This will just evolve to playing party politics. Republican governors reject money (they figure they look good to party) state legislatures over rule governor, state still gets money and governor looks good…..c’mon!!!! lets put some kind of amendment to this bill. If governor rejects money that state doessn’t get money. Lets see how well those governors stand up to there principles then…
