The President-elect Obama gave the world an extraordinary behind-the-scene view of his election night victory by posting 82 pictures on his personal Flickr account.   These photographs were intended to reach the public without relying on news wire services, television networks, and newspapers. These photographs were also posted inside the Barack Obama website.

The photographs showed the Obama family during Tuesday night when the election results were coming in.  When the news networks declared at 11 PM that he had won the election – the pictures showed jubilant family and relatives along with his running mate, Joe Biden and his wife, Jill. 

Mr. Obama has harnessed the power of the Internet to give millions the opportunity to participate and become involve in his campaign.  He ran one of the most brilliant and disciplined campaigns that utilized technological tools to connect and communicate with voters and his supporters.  He has taken another unprecedented step by sharing his digital photo album with the public. 

On Nov. 7, Mr. Obama has launched the official  website  http://www.change.gov for his transition to the White House.  The theme is to encourage users to participate by sending emails, write blogs, and apply for jobs on the website. 

It is apparent that changes are being made to further connect with the public as Mr. Obama and his team prepares to transition to the governing process.

"Panzerlawyer", what a crude and vulgar remark.  I hope it is soon struck by someone in authority.
