Obama Wants Your Questions

As of the December 10, 2008, Barack Obama's transitional government website allows users to submit questions for direct response. Users are also able to vote on the questions, to promote those considered more worthy of attention.

I think this is brilliant, I have always thought there should be more direct interaction between a leader and the people. Britain has a government petition website allowing the public to add their vote to causes they deem worthy, however, I have often found the official responses to be confusing and indirect.

'The Transition' has asked the people for their opinions on selected issues, and now they invite you to return the favour. I hope the current trend of interactive political interest will continue. I also hope no less-popular but still deserving issues will be ignored due to the question-voting system.

Here's to change.
