A Transparent and Connected Government

President-elect Obama has a new Web site, that gives people a chance to say what they think his priorities should be, track the transition to his new administration, tell their personal stories and even apply for federal jobs.

The site — a down payment on Obama's pledge to create a more "transparent and connected government" — still has lots of white spaces and promises of future features.

But it gives viewers lots more details about the government's workings and more opportunities for input than the Bush administration's site, dominated by first dog Barney.

The site in its infancy, but it's a nice start.

A video of Obama's victory speech is the home page's dominant feature. Inside are lots of Obama issue positions and a promised new blog.

He plainly wants to reach out to people directly. Whether you voted for him, he provides you an opportunity for direct input into his administration.
