Obama Launches New Website, Emanuel is his Chief of Staff‏

As the political climate calms a bit after the election, President-elect Obama has wasted no time in getting down to business. He's already launched a transitional website, Change.gov, and chosen Congressman Rahm Emanuel as Chief of Staff. As Senator McCain mulls his role upon returning to the Senate, news comes of a few scuffles between Sarah Palin and McCain's campaign staff (fun fact of the day - Africa is a continent). And after Care2 members responded passionately to Heather's post "The Good, The Bad, The Ugly," Catherine revisits Prop 8 and what Care2 members hope for the future.

Barack Obama Launches a New Website - Change.gov

Barack Obama seems to be keeping his promise of change, starting with a website. Today the site change.gov was launched. The site is an open platform, that hopes to engage the American people in the governmental process.

From The Raw Story...

The official website of US President-elect Barack Obama for his transition to the White House, www.change.gov, went online on Thursday inviting users to offer their ideas for the future of the country.

Under the headline of "Open Government," the website asks readers to "Share Your Vision" via email.

"The story of the campaign and this historic moment has been your story," the website states. "Share your story and your ideas, and be part of bringing positive lasting change to this country."

The website's homepage notes that it's "75 days until inauguration," when Obama is to be sworn in as president on January 20, 2009. It also features a quote from Obama: "Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today."
