One thing you can say about the new Obama administration - they're quick! They've already got a new whitehouse.gov site up and running - apparently along with the secret codes for the nuclear bombs and the red phone you get the web masters passwords at 12:01 as well.
So the thing about the new white house web site that TRULY differentiates itself from the previous white house web site is that you are ONE CLICK away from sending a comment to the new administration. You couldn't email Bush no matter how you clicked around the old site. It drove me insane because I would have to snail mail my hate messages and waste money on postage when we have all this TECHNOLOGY that makes it easy to communicate and is the whole purpose of having a web site really - two way communication. So it was another confusing item about the old evil Bush administration - you had to wonder - did they NOT WANT INPUT FROM THE PEOPLE?????? Or were they STUPID ABOUT TECHNOLOGY??????????????? Did they really think they could just put up pictures of Barny the dog and think that the citizens of the US were fooled into thinking that they were doing good? Well I don't agree with any of his policies - like continuing to advance global warming, torturing prisoners and spying on us citizens and outing secret agents but hey that little Scottie Terrier sure is cute, surely his master has something on the ball.
Well the new site is simple, clear and easy to use. You can easily look at the president's agenda. Bravo!
Of course, once they get a dog (which will not be cuter than my dogs) I wouldn't mind a photo or two of the pooch on the site.
