Regular readers will know that I have high hopes for what Obama may do with the kind of organization he is building once he gets to the White House. The techPresident blog has a great post with some detailed thoughts on the matter. Suffice it to say: pretty breathtaking.
They point to this video from a few months back where Obama spells out some of his vision.
I want to open up transparency in government, so that you guys know what is happening. I want to revamp our White House website. I know it’s nice to take the virtual tour of the China Room, but I want people to be able to know, ‘today, this issue is going on…today’s President Obama talked about his proposal for $4000 student college tuition credits, it’s going to be going into this congressional committee, these are the key leaders in the House and Senate that are going to be deciding on the bill, here are the groups that are involved that are supporting it, you should contact your Congressman. Just creating the situation that if people want to get involved and it’s easy.
Huh. A White House web site with real substance. Who’d’a’thunk?
