However, I believe that effectively engaging constituents (either through technology or otherwise) should be a government priority on the same level as financial stability and even security. Change.gov must be, in some way, affiliated with the USG - .gov domains can only be registered by government entities. All points well taken.

Of course the new administration will treat technology differently. As technology becomes more engrained in our culture, in our way of life, it is all but certain that the revolving door of presidents will upgrade technology. Indeed, much of the technology that is available today was not available four years ago or eight years ago (when the last transition took place). It is equally unfair to compare a government website to change.org, a privately funded website. Finally, I think we ought to be aware of what we are putting on Mr. Obama's shoulders. He should not, and cannot, be all things to all people. Everyone in the country has their wish list to be accomplished, but I imagine most tax payers hope their money would be used for more important issues such as the economy, the war, climage change, alternative energy, social security, and so on, before it is being dumped into making the government more technologically proficient.
