I like how the new one lacks a podcasts link anywhere on the page. Our new president must not be very technologically inclined.

my favorite part, and the new policy to the site: "we will publish all non-emergency legislation to the website for five days, and allow the public to review and comment before the President signs it." (http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/change_has_co me_to_whitehouse-gov/)

Check out the site's disallow robots.text file under Bush. It prevents search engines from indexing pages. Its freaking 2400 lines long!

wow, we can add discussion in a blog not just be told what the white house version is of everything?

tgt114    says:

Amazing. This really shows Obama's attention to detail, and to modern technology. Bush probably didn't even know how to use the internet. Like chuckwolfe0 said, this man is very classy, and on top of his game. Lets hope he stays that way!

OBAMA!!

The graphics are poorly done and awfully grainy. *cringe* I was hoping it was all shiny, but nope.

I like how the Presidential Administration agenda is front and center. I'm looking forward to the new Whitehouse.gov being more interactive.

therainesman says:

Looks nice, but it says nothing about the man and what kind of president he will be. Everyone is falling all over themselves to praise Obama for nothing.

This has nothing to do with his substance. This has nothing to do with how he will govern the nation. It has everything to do with flash and style and marketing. I just hope all this polish is not the bait on the hook to drag us into ruin.

überRegenbogen says:

On the surface, it doesn't seem like much more than a facelift—new graphics; moved the site map to the bottom, etc.

The old robots file is a nightmarish morass of redundant disallow lines! It would have made much more sense to use a handful of allow lines.

osovagabundo    says:

to the detractors:
this has something, not all, to do with how he will govern. the previous administration had this same opportunity and chose not to proceed. the previous admin. was infamous for poor communication with the nation they were elected to represent. this small difference in communication choice will make a difference towards the actual representation of citizens in general. it may even effect the lobby filtered communication of the house and senate as well.
