The only thing I ever went to the whitehouse.gov site for was speeches (and transcripts), and it only takes a sec to figure out why there are fewer of those available 6 months in to a new president's term- but they're all there. The only legitimate beef from that article is that it's harder to find out everything that occurred on a single date, but even they note that the search function is "vastly better" than the Bush site. Pretty much all the comments state what an improvement the new site is, where's the "substance"? Cato guy- do you not know about <a href="http://www.data.gov/" rel="nofollow">data.gov?<a> OK, I’ll bite- what was the information available before that is not available now?

#3 Brandon Bowers

Why shouldn’t Obama’s website mirror his career?

Because it’s not “Obama’s website”. It’s the White House’s website. It should dispense information not promote the holder of the office.
