Well, he didn’t waste much time. President-elect Barack Obama already has his new website up and running:
Change.gov. And guess what? You can apply for a job at the White House there.
It’s not the blog section, or the biography sections for Obama and Joe Biden. The revolutionary parts are the participatory crowd-sourcing sections. Have
a vision for America? You can pound out your version of “Common Sense” and upload it to the site. Have
a story you want told? Under the same “American Moment” tab, you can upload that too.
President-Elect Obama will expand national service programs like AmeriCorps and Peace Corps and will create a new Classroom Corps to help teachers in underserved schools, as well as a new Health Corps, Clean Energy Corps, and Veterans Corps. Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year.
