Obama Launches Change.gov
mallumax writes "Obama has launched Change.gov. According to the site 'Change.gov provides resources to better understand the transition process and the decisions being made as part of it. It also offers an opportunity to be heard about the challenges our country faces and your ideas for tackling them. The Obama Administration will reflect an essential lesson from the success of the Obama campaign: that people united around a common purpose can achieve great things.' The site is extensive and contains Obama's agenda for economy and education among many others. They first define the problem and then lay out the plan. Everything is in simple English without a trace of Washington-speak. The site also has details about the transition. According to many sources, Obama's transition efforts started months ago. The copyright for the content is held by 'Obama-Biden Transition Project, a 501c(4) organization'."
I expect the front page of this site to have the following entry boxes:
"Amount owed:" and "Amount paid"
followed by an area labeled "Change", with categories of "pennies", "nickles", "dimes", and "quarters".
It will obviously deduct 30% from your change, to distribute to those who "need" it more.
Who would win this election: Andrew Weiner vs Andrew Weiner's weiner.
No, but it apparently has been redefined as "liberal fanboy/girl".
Make the U.S. a Leader on Climate Change.
I dare say the US is already the leader on climate change. On a serious note though, good initiative.

You're equating a few hours of Civil Service with being placed in front of a firing squad? You're a sad, sad human being.
No, we all lost when we elected that man in the face of the fact that there were third-party candidates who'd actually make a decent president.
And you don't have to pull out anything as trivial as personal information to call Obama a liar. If he lies about his personal life I don't care, that's his own damn business. He did, however, break campaign promises while he was campaigning by voting for the FISA bill that got passed. The cultists, of course, rationalized his actions, but the truth is that Obama lied to every one of his supporters when he said he opposed telecom immunity. He's a damned liar, just like the vast majority of politicians, get over it.

Glad to see a fellow spirit willing to look at the truth. Sorry if I jumped down your throat a bit, but you came off as one of the Obama-bots, who I've got more than a bit sick of during this presidential campaign, due to their willingness to rationalize away anything bad Obama did.

If you have trouble parsing that sentence then English must not be your first language.
He's calling on all citizens of all ages to serve by requiring them to work 50/100 hours of community service.
At that point, it's not even a call. To say he's "calling on citizens" is a flat out lie. He's developing a plan to ORDER them to work.
