I Have an Idear, Obama

In what could either be a landmark use of social media or a public showcase of the pitfalls of hosting an open forum on the internet, the Office of the President-Elect announced the Citizen’s Briefing Book as the newest feature on the Change.gov transition website. After signing up for an account, you post your policy ideas you would like Obama to consider and comment and vote on the ideas of others. The most popular ideas will be presented to him after the inauguration. While some of the most popular ideas have been great so far (for example, the construction of bullet trains and light rail systems), it won’t be too long until some of the more out-there, conspiracy theory ideas start moving up the popularity rankings, like this one.
