Let's see how widely this story is picked up in the alleged "Liberal"
press:

White House puts up obstacle course for e-mails
http://www.chicagotribune.com/technology/chi-0307180184jul18,1,7186833.story

"Under a system deployed on the White House Web site for the first time
last week, those who want to send a message to President Bush must
navigate as many as nine Web pages and fill out a detailed form that
starts by asking whether the message sender supports or differs with
White House policy."

In fairness, I can see requiring some anti-spam filtering or something
that ensures that the White House only has to process e-mail from
citizens and not Nigerian fraud schemes... but nine pages? It's
obviously a roadblock.

The story also notes that out of all the categories provided for
classification, none of them include unemployment or jobs... big shocker
there from the Bush administration.
