Minor quibble, but aren't ".gov" domains supposed to be reserved for official government agencies/programs not some 501(c)(4)? Look for moveon.gov coming to an internets near you...

"The Office of the President Elect" stated the podium. What the heck is that? Yes, we know he is God, but do they have to make up new "offices" for him. My understanding is that they're using that term because it sounds a TON better than the "Obama Administration Transition Committee"... plus, it allows them to tout their new website, change.gov, which actually does have the potential to be something cool ("participant government").

That press conference today was fine, except for the fact that slobbering worshippers of the The Messiah put a goofy sign on the front of his podium. "The Office of the President Elect" stated the podium. What the heck is that? Yes, we know he is God, but do they have to make up new "offices" for him. And they used the US Seal on the sign, or at least a similar seal. I don't blame The One for that podium, but this deification could lead to some resentment when the glow comes off his administration.

FDR had the fireside chat, Kennedy us widely considered to be the first president to embrace tv, I think Obama is our first true information age president. Could he write the first presidential blog?
