whitehouse.gov

In a recent class discussion, whitehouse.gov was brought up as being a propaganda tool used by the Obama administration. As a result, I decided to check out the website. After only a few minutes on the site, I was already overwhelmed by the direct information on there and didn't know what to look at first. Just by going on the homepage, you can find every piece of signed legislation in chronological order by the administration as well as their descriptions. You can also find a weekly address given by the president, information on the economy, and so much more.

Clicking through this website was wonderful. YOu can find out anything about the current administration and what they're doing, as well as what your state and local government is up to. Inevitably, it makes Obama look good, too. Since the site is run by his administration, I wouldn't expect anything different. But, if you're looking for direct information on what your government is doing without the taint of the middle-man media, then you've found it in this site. Learn about the new piece of legislation, then decide for yourself if you agree, without the interpretive subjective media to get in your way. How often can we say we've learned a bit of news about our government without mass media getting involved? Learn about Obama's agenda the way he wants to present it to you, it is his agenda after all and should be presented to his fellow Americans through a direct source.

This week, the president's address urges American's to stay calm but cautious in regards to the H1N1 Flu Virus. Check it out:
