Obama’s crew takes over the new White House Website, in true Obama style. So much friendly liability he is self-administering here by putting his softly-lit face so large on the front page. It’s confident, seemingly trusting, and unyeildingly blunt, just like a government should be. Sure, there is likely a good dose of makeup and photoshopping, but that superficiality doesn’t seem to affect the overall message of an Obama that is ‘For the People’.

Some astounding subliminal (or, if you are a slow driver, not so subliminal) advertising for Obama within this Xbox 360 game… Quite a detailed, underground effort to reach a specific target audience- which just goes to reach even more audiences as it hits blogs everywhere. This embedded game graphic will surely tell a tale of this generation years down the road.
