The new whitehouse.gov makes it clear that the Obama team intends to maintain its brand image continually for the next four years. In addition to having the same design elements of the campaign website, it contains a bunch of re-tread campaign rhetoric. Especially inappropriate for a Presidential website is the bashing of the former President that is scattered about.

Katrina

President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast...President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. Citing the Bush Administration's "unconscionable ineptitude" in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation...

Iraq

Barack Obama and Joe Biden believe we must be as careful getting out of Iraq as we were careless getting in.

Can they really believe that stuff about Katrina? Calling a former President unconscionably inept on dailykos is one thing, but on whitehouse.gov? It also seems unwise from a diplomatic standpoint to say that your country was "careless" in its engagement with Iraq (which is now an extremely important strategic ally), but I guess that ship sailed a long time ago.
