Obama Commits to Transparent Government – Online!

by Ari Herzog on November 15, 2008 · 2 comments

In a few hours, President-elect Barack Obama will address the country — and the world — in a historic weekly YouTube video.

As transition team co-chair Valerie Jarrett says in the first video release from the ChangeDotGov YouTube feed:

President-elect Obama is committed to having an efficient, competent, organized, transparent, and bipartisan transition team.

Obama won the American presidency under a “Yes We Can” movement.

Inside of a week, the nation’s first black president-elect is turning Washington upside down by committing to change and asking you — all of you — to comment on his videos.

Welcome to the YouTube presidency… and stay tuned to change.gov for new information.

From a technological perspective, what would you like to see in the new administration?

Wow… so much for transparency. Guess it goes against the socialist creed.
