Whitehouse.gov

President Barack Obama and his administration connect with the nation and the rest of the world by expanding and deepening online engagement. The Obama-Biden Administration's online programs put citizens first and center around three priorities. Here are some highlights of the new www.Whitehouse.gov presidential website:

Communication -- This feature is timely and contains in-depth content to keep everyone up-to-date and educated. For information from the Obama-Biden Administration about major announcements and decisions, visit the briefing room , keep tabs on the blog, subscribe to an RSS feed at and sign up for e-mail updates.

Participation -- President Obama started his career as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago and saw firsthand what people can do when they come together for a common cause. Citizen participation is a priority for his Administration and the Web plays an important role. One significant addition to www.Whitehouse.gov reflects a campaign promise from the President: 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.

Transparency -- President Obama has committed to making his administration the most open and transparent in history and www.Whitehouse.gov plays a major role in delivering that promise. The President's executive orders and proclamations are published for public review. Learn about some of the senior leadership in the new administration and the President’s policy priorities.

This online community is a work in progress as the Obama-Biden Administration develops new features and content. See the video and the full text of President Obama’s Inaugural Address and watch for links to slideshows of Inaugural events, the Obamas’ move into the White House, and President Obama’s first days in office.
