"President Obama speaks about moving forward to create jobs, out-compete in the global economy by investing in innovation and education, and win the future for our children and our country. This enhanced version features charts, graphs and other visual aids that accompany the President's speech. January 25, 2010."

A tumblr aggregating posts to Twitter about dreams involving Barack Obama.

Record of campaign promises kept by the Obama administration. The little widgets with the Obama faces on them are sort of ludicrous, but I'll be checking this thing every few days. Also, No. 502 is getting his daughters a puppy.

Official Presidential portrait of Barack Obama. First presidential portrait taken with a digital camera.

The New York Times profiles members of Obama's administration.

Žižek on the presidential election and what the election of Obama means.

Steven Heller interviewing the man behind the O, the most incredible thing to happen to presidential campaign design since the color blue.

Newsweek's 7-part exclusive tell-all on the last 2 years of American Electoral politics. I can't tell if it's biased towards McCain, or if McCain just comes off better in private than he does in public, but reading this definitely made me like him more, especially in the wake of his concession speech. No way I would have voted for him, though.

I'll probably be making this for the big night.

Sadly not one of the many communities that the Obama campaign's inclusive graphic designers thought of. Grassroots are picking up the slack.

"This moment, this moment, this election is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive."

Full record of which superdelegate is supporting which candidate. There are 3,253 delegates chosen by primary voters and 832.5 superdelegates. Superdelegates hold as many votes as NY, TX, IL, PA and NC combined.

I haven't had a chance to sit down and watch this in it's entirety yet. I sort of want to devote 40 minutes of undivided attention to it, because I'm pretty sure it's going to make me want to punch the air in an upward motion.

Interesting article in The New Republic about Obama's economic advisors, their basic assumptions, and how they're pointing in a different direction from past policymakers.

I really really really hope that this is an official organ of the Obama campaign. McCain, Clinton and Hillary are falling victim to the meme gap. Edit: They caught up.
