Help determine Obama's agenda

A recent Miami Herald article detailed Obama's plans to not only broadcast his weekly address on YouTube, but also to appoint the first-ever Chief Technology Officer.

The most intriguing part of his plans is the idea of running a website where citizens can vote on policy issues and bring up issues that should be considered.

An example of such a website is online now. The most votes (over 11,000 for the first-place option) have come in on what the CTO's priorities should be.

The website isn't run by the Obama campaign, rather a civic software company, but is an example of what the Obama administration could use to dialoge with the American people.
