I wonder what plans Obama has...

Gosh I wish he'd tell me.

I just expressed interest in a job with the Obama Administration. I don't know what I'd be good for, but hell, I'd hate myself if I passed this up.

It's just a simple form.

That is rad.

wow!

I know right?

Its like... wow.

We will never know, so its a cheap shot, but you wonder what John McCain had ready to post had he won.

I find his plan for national service fascinating.

what? he needs content. hes asking for contentment in our... uh... service.

Ha!

I'd like a job too. Actually I need a job. But maybe not one of those where I have to be confirmed by the Senate.

Emailed them. Also asked them to expand on the "Faith" section. I know Obama has a pretty good understanding of the church/state separation thing, but I'd like to see him spell it out here.

There isn't much to say, Obama opposes gay marriage. The best you can hope for is that he appoints progressive judges that see things differently before the matter comes to the courts.

I really like this idea, and it's amazing to me to see a website where a future administration is actually asking for our feedback on things. This truly is a turning point in the way democracy works in this country and I applaud the Obama team for this.

However, it's really looking half-assed right now. Considering how effective Obama's online strategy has been over the last two years (with my.barackobama.com and all) I'm wondering why this isn't better than it is. I'm sure they'll flesh it out, but it makes me wonder if this an idea someone had a week ago, because it kind of looks like it.

DPed!

That isn't accurate. How could Obama "oppose gay marriage" and also be against Prop. 8? He may not be a grand hero of marriage equality but he hardly opposes it.

Same. I hope it's more of a "new-site-just-getting-up-and-running" factor than anything else. The LGBT section is still up on his campaign Web site.

I still think the major litmus test for gay rights in the Obama Administration would be the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

I went there earlier. What I like even more than the plans he's laid out there is the fact that they have a form for letting other people share their vision for what they'd like to see. I worked carefully on a letter to send there. Anyone with a vision for what they'd like to see in the next 4 years, I urge you to do the same.

Explained here:

I cant believe all you obamatons slavering over 'hussein' in complete agreement! you cant even criticize him!

The same way I'm against abortions but pro-choice.

I admit it was an unnecessarily snarky response, but so was yours.

I read that, and I think the chances of that happening are virtually nil. To attempt to remove marriage from government is to attempt to remove religion from law, and that's simply not going to happen. And short of that, civil unions are nothing less than "seperate but equal", and not good enough. We've been over this.

I never said there was nothing to say. I was giving my reasoning for why he hasn't said anything. I would love for him to elaborate on this issue, but as I stated, he doesn't seem to have much to say on the matter.

I'm sorry, but that's a weak analogy at best. Especially in contrast of your original statement:

"There isn't much to say, Obama opposes gay marriage. The best you can hope for is that he appoints progressive judges that see things differently before the matter comes to the courts."

I don't think we know yet if an Obama Administration is going to be a true ally of marriage-equality, but you're painting a simple color of a complex issue.

The ball on marriage isn't currently in the federal government's hands. I think the real litmus test of the Obama Administration and gay rights will be the repeal of DADT.

So, I guess they took down most of the agenda portion of the site?
