President-elect Barack Obama has launched the website change.gov, where one can find news about the transition and inauguration and information about his agenda. The site also has a place for people to share their ideas for government and their stories about the campaign.

Wow. I didn't think that I could be more impressed with Obama and his team. This encourages me to really get involved.
Government 2.0. Welcome to the next level Republicans.
Correction: Government 2.0.08.
Barack Obama has been president-elect for two days and already he's shown more organization than W. has shown in eight years.
WELCOME TO GOVERNMENT 2.0
LOL!! I like it!!
Yo... I just sent the quick info form for a job! These ppl work FAST
Wow,
I'm still going through the "agenda" section.
There's going to be a lot of work for Obama and well....us. I'm about 95% sure that by tonight, Fox and a lot of Republicans will be screaming their heads off about some of Obama's more detailed proposals.
This is definitely more government. But in a great and hopefully effective way.
Alright, going back...more things left to read.
Even if he uses this site at 1% of its intention it will be more that what we have had ever. This site is simply amazing. Its capabilities are amazing. Just the mere attempt right now is amazing. Normally we get thanked and then they go about their daily business. He is asking us to contribute. Only 1% of this site's intention can be used and we have the change we can believe in.
This is such a great idea, but what else should I have expected from President-elect Barack Hussein Obama? His team is top-notch.

Speaking of African Americans, let’s not forget what has happened to other minorities in the US like Native Americans. They have seen virtual depopulation through murder. 170 years ago this was their country west of Mississippi. Today they are few and far in between limited to reservations and also treated as second class citizens just like Hispanics and African Americans. They have seen cumulative emotional and psychological wounds over the lifespan and across generations emanating from massive group trauma, faced realities like savages have no rights to land or dignity. Dehumanization and humiliation, disempowerment of their elders and spiritual authorities, broken treaties
Here is what the guy on our $20 bill said to the US Congress in 1867:
“If the savage resists civilization, with the ten commandments in one hand and
the sword in the other, demands his immediate extermination.”
Andrew Jackson
The Indian Killer
1867 to Congress
you are here to start trouble, go to rush website.
Clam.
No one wants to hear your drivel.
GREAT SITE.....I THINK HE' S GONNA RUN HIS PREDISENCY LIKE HIS CAMPAIGN....
THE AUDACITY OF HOPE, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN....
I was able to get on and register. Could not connect at first, but I was able to after a few tries. It looks like the same layout as the barackobama website, maybe the same team may be working on this site?
This is great. One link takes you to www.PresidentialTransition.gov
There they have "The Plum Book" and "The Prune Book" regarding appointees and positions.
I didn't know there were a plum team and a prune team. Maybe the prune team is those positions held by republicans. Not really, just funny.
Wow, there is live-time construction going on on that website. I refreshed a couple of pages and they completely changed on me!
What's this? Transparency in government? I never knew that existed.
GREAT JOB OBAMA!
Great idea--very savvy!
How cool is that? Class act.
