Our incoming Prez has already shown himself to be one tech-savvy politician -- from his extensive website, to his groundbreaking campaign that for the first time in history effectively utilized social networking vehicles like Facebook.

In fact, there have been rumors buzzing about Barack Obama's love of various viral phenomena such as "All Your Base Are Belong to Us."

But we thought we'd extend a cyber high-five to the man himself and create a list of 10 hand-picked sites we think would make up Obama's dream internet!




  • The Daily Puppy

    We've all been party to the ongoing puppy debate after Obama promised his two daughters that if they moved into the White House, he'd get them a puppy. Well, with this site he and the family can enjoy cute-tastic pics of puppies for every day of the month, plus links to adoption sites, breeders and pet tips.






  • Petition Against the Bowl System in College Football

    Obama has been very vocal about his dislike for the Bowl Championship System in college football -- a system in which teams are selected to play in "bowl" tournaments rather than qualifying via a playoff system. Well, he can grow his case with online petitions like this one.






  • PieCouncil.org

    Obama's admission of his love of pie, while on the campaign trail in Philadelphia, got a lot of laughs. But seriously, who doesn't love pie? In fact, perhaps our new Prez can find time to make the Pie Council's "National Pie Day," a federal holiday!















  • AOL Music

    Okay, okay....we know! A little self-promotion aside, Obama mentioned last year in a Rolling Stone article that he appreciated everything from Bob Dylan, to Jay-Z, to his musical hero: Stevie Wonder. He even said that Sasha and Malia are all about Beyonce. Well, with AOL Music's extensive music bank, he can enjoy nearly any genre -- contemporary or classic rock -- and maybe even discover some hip new music for his girls.






  • Wikipedia's Guide to Hand Gestures

    Ah yes, the "fist-bump" heard 'round the world. For many of us, it was an endearingly playful expression shared between Barack and Michelle Obama, but it also resulted in a pretty silly controversy. Hopefully we can all look back on it and laugh now. So in that spirit, we've uncovered an extensive Wikipedia guide to hand gestures from around the world. Personally, I think the fist-bump is wonderfully American. Maybe we can call this a guide to "fist-bump diplomacy?"






  • PokerListings.com

    During the campaign, it was revealed that Obama is a pretty awesome poker player. There is no shortage of poker sites on the Web, but Poker Listings is a poker enthusiast's dream with poker news from around the world, listings of upcoming tournaments, online poker rooms and even poker instruction.






  • DCist

    There is proof that the Obamas enjoy a night of fine dining, and though most of their entertaining will likely take place within the White House, it'd be pretty uncharacteristic of them to be out of touch. DCist's food & drink listings are sure to help the Obamas keep their pulse on the local community and maybe even provide Mr. O. with some ideas for date nights with the first lady (we can dream can't we!?).
