Change.Gov that you can believe in

By Ethel C. Fenig

P--s-s-t! Want a job in the new presidential administration?

Or perhaps you believe

The story of the campaign and this historic moment has been your story. It is about the great things we can do when we come together around a common purpose. The story of bringing this country together as a healed and united nation will be led by President-Elect Obama, but written by you.

For more of what the coming Obama-Biden administration has planned visit www.change.gov. 2012, here it comes.

Michelle Malkin believes that this is just one more fund raising tool for Obama:

Government domain names (”.gov”) for websites are supposed to be restricted to eligible government organizations and programs.

Does Barack Obama’s transition website, www.change.gov — which is basically a souped-up version of his campaign site — qualify? As Ed Morrissey pointed out yesterday, “The incoming administration technically has no status as a government organization or program until January 20, 2009. The “Office of the President-Elect” doesn’t exist within the government.”

The primary goal of the transition site seems to be to collect e-mail addresses and personal information — for future fund-raising and political organizing projects

Well at least Obama hasn't started selling advertising space on the walls of the White House.

Yet.
