“President-elect Barack Obama’s Transition today launched “Open for Questions,” a Digg-style feature allowing citizens to submit questions, and to vote on one another’s questions, bringing favored inquiries to the top of the list. It was suggested when it launched that the tool would bring uncomfortable questions to the fore, but the results so far are the opposite: Obama’s supporters appear to be using — and abusing — a tool allowing them to “flag” questions as “inappropriate” to remove all questions mentioning Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich from the main pages of Obama’s website.” (via Ben Smith’s Blog: Blagojevich questions censored on Transition site - Politico.com)
Most politicians would love to censor these kind of questions, but can’t because it looks so awful. It’s nice that Obama’s supporters are willing to do this for him.
Those are legit questions that need to be answered in the coming months, however they probably never will!! Dirty politicians should be able to answer the dirty hard questions!
