\[!\[LONDON - JULY 26: Presumptive U.S. Democratic...\]()\](http://www.daylife.com/image/072t6EReSJ59Y?utm\_source=zemanta&utm\_medium=p&utm\_content=072t6EReSJ59Y&utm\_campaign=z1)Image by \[Getty Images\](http://www.daylife.com/source/Getty\_Images) via \[Daylife\](http://www.daylife.com/) 

I must confess that I’m having a bad dose of the “bah humbug”s today, as I grump and work at my desk while people all around me, virtually and physically, get very excited by the inauguration of President Obama. (It’s Tony Blair’s fault, I think – I was so very excited when he was elected and felt so very betrayed by him at the end.) 

But one thing has emerged which I am excited about – the relaunched [whitehouse.gov has a blog](http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/?ref=onemanandhisblog.com).

That’s right. This is the first blogging presidency. It’s open for debate about [how significant this](http://broadstuff.com/archives/1514-Dont-canonise-your-saints-before-they-have-performed-their-miracles.html?ref=onemanandhisblog.com) is for the presidency itself – but it’s a pretty darn good endorsment of blogging.

Bloggers are all sad individuals blogging in their bedrooms? Well, if one of those bedrooms is in the White House, perhaps people have a little rethinking to do…

**Update:** Daniel Bennett has a [nice take on the new blog](http://fromthefrontline.co.uk/blogs/?blog=18&title=whitehouse%5Fgov%5Flaunches%5Fblog%5Fas%5Fbarack%5Fo&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1&ref=onemanandhisblog.com) over at the Frontline Club.
