Well That Didn’t Take Long…
President-Elect Obama is already installing himself in the government, sort of, establishing a new government website called change.gov. How original. A righteously indignant Ed Morrissey has broken down the problems with it, including the fact that government domains are supposed to be for “qualified government organizations and programs”, of which I believe the phony “Office of the President-Elect” is neither. Ed’s biggest problem is this:
President-Elect Obama has no business using a government website to collect information on people, even if it is to “share their stories.” I’m sure they’ll play it off as an innocent way for Obama to respond to their inspiring stories, but they’re also collecting e-mail addresses at the top of each page. As a friend of mine put it, it’s the “eternal campaign” gearing up for 2012 already. All I have to say is, this entire thing seems a bit egotistical, and if change.gov is a legitimate government domain, I have to wonder when the “Department of Hope” is going to be established…

Oh, the Department of Hope is going to be a new cabinet-level position. I think Bill Ayers is going to be secretary. And yes, there will be a Department of Change, to be staffed by Bill Clinton. These will go into effect only after he changes the Department of Defense to Department of Peace.
“…government domains are supposed to be for “qualified government organizations and programs”, of which I believe the phony “Office of the President-Elect” is neither.”

“I’m sure they’ll play it off as an innocent way for Obama to respond to their inspiring stories, but they’re also collecting e-mail addresses at the top of each page.”
Justin collects email addresses every time someone leaves a comment here. I guess we’re just supposed to ignore his flaming hypocrisy — again.
“…this entire thing seems a bit egotistical…”
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
This from the half-pint whose answer to criticism is a whiny “You’re below me”!
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Yeah, but to the best of our knowledge, Justin’s not potentially funneling them from a government run website for a re-election campaign…
