As of the December 10, 2008, Barack Obama's transitional government website allows users to submit questions for direct response. Users are also able to vote on the questions, to promote those considered more worthy of attention.
I think this is brilliant, I have always thought there should be more direct interaction between a leader and the people. Britain has a government petition website allowing the public to add their vote to causes they deem worthy, however, the Brits have often used the site to promote spectacularly daft questions and dumbass schemes (then again their problems aren't as serious as ours).
Whether serious or stupid (America's in need of some might relief), what would you want to ask Obama?

One of my favorite frivolous queries submitted to the UK government website involved a petition to the Prime Minister to make "Gold" by 80s band Spandau Ballet the national anthem of the UK in time for the London Olympics. That's an issue I can seriously get behind!
