Obama’s New Website

ABC News’ Jake Tapper Reports: Coinciding with Sen. Barack Obama’s, D-Ill, announcement Saturday morning, the BarackObama.com website has been revamped. It now has BarackTV, which features speeches and biopics of the candidate and his wife Michelle; a MySpace-like section called My.BarackObama.com where one can create a profile and network with other users; sections for news, issue papers, blogging, and campaign schedules; and a campaign store featuring "Obama ’08" shirts, buttons, signs, and stickers. Links are provided to Facebook, Youtube, and the photo-sharing site Flickr.com. It also contains a page for financial contributions to the Obama campaign. Unlike with the website of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-NY, who has already decided to opt out of the federal campaign financing system for the general election campaign, the maximum option for Obama is $2,300 for a primary campaign donation.
