Obama's team has set up a new website asking for questions from the public:

The idea is that questions can be voted on by the public and the popular questions will be answered by Obama and his team. (It's based on Google's Moderator software, which they use in speeches and discussions at Google HQ.)
The first few questions are predictable, but there are some great questions in the top set, I think.
I had actually been thinking about this sort of thing before. It would do volumes of good (in terms of image and PR) if he'd make good on the idea and honestly answer the top questions. I'd like to know what my president is thinking. (A presidential blog would be awesome, though they'd never do that.)
Let's see how this works out.
