A Children's Treasury Of Polite, Intelligent Threaded Comments On Change.gov

We read somewhere, here, that Obama's transition website, Change.gov, was getting pretty Internettish these days. This is Obama's thing, he does it all the time: using standard Internet crap -- stuff that other politicians somehow haven't discovered -- to help his readers connect and engage one another on the issues important to them (and possibly sometimes donate $$$$...) (and also maybe plan to fuck in a motel.) This is all to say that Change.gov suddenly looks a lot like Fark or Digg -- long comment threads where you can "tell Obama" your thoughts and respond to each other and even rate each other's comments. So we headed over there to witness the hilarity one sees on every Internet comment board in the world. But as with all things "Obama," the discussion is well-written, informed, polite... it is terrifying. This is not the Real American Internet.
