YOUNG VOICES

Inauguration Observations Part II: WhiteHouse.gov and the First Official Act
by Tamika Thompson


 

•    Change.gov, the widely popular web site for the Obama transition team, redirects visitors to the new WhiteHouse.gov site, which looks a lot like the Change.gov site. WhiteHouse.gov has a placeholder for President Obama's weekly address and offers a blog and overviews of the Obama-Biden foreign and domestic agenda.

•    President Obama's first official act was to issue a proclamation: “NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim January 20, 2009, a National Day of Renewal and Reconciliation, and call upon all of our citizens to serve one another and the common purpose of remaking this Nation for our new century.”
