Because germany is a hotbed for islamic radicals

[Always Right]

Well, he is in Germany today.

[brytlea]

Just hosting the websites that Americans won’t...

[wolfcreek]

Doucheland. Sounds right.

When I started a traceroute just a moment ago, whitehouse.gov resolved to 96.17.202.135, assigned to Akamai out of Cambridge, Mass. The actual host at the IP looked like it was hanging off a network located in Ashburn, Va. (one of the major Eastern U.S. data centers).

The New World Order has begun.

[kaehurowing]

Is that where George Soros lives?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Because it is outside US jurisdiction there.

I just pinged ‘www.whitehouse.gov’ from a unix machine and I get IP: 96.16.242.135 which is in Cambridge, Mass

[Caesar Soze]

If you're using http://en.utrace.de to access it, it's probably going to hit a copy cached in Germany. FWIW, I'm in the US and for me whitehouse.gov resolves to a completely different IP address.

You vill submit to zee New Vorld Order! Obama ist das Ein! (or maybe das Eine?, I didnt pay attention in class)

[Candor7]

Interestingtha White House Gov is offshore. My bet is so that the FBI and the CIA are prevebted from hacking the White House Gov site. Typical fascist maneuverinng.

There is some stuff on that site that Obama does not want the other federal agencies to have access to.

MAYBE THE KEY IS IN GERMANY.

[Winstons Julia]

Outsourcing, silly!

No, really... he probably just needed access because he needed to post another picture that had “hero” in the properties.

[riskybiz]

Because no Islamic country has hosting ability?

[Creme Brulee]

It’s made in Germany. You know the Germans always make good stuff.

[2harddrive]

They bid cheaper that the Indians! LOL.

If you click the IP (http://en.utrace.de/whois/92.122.34.135), it shows that the netblock that IP address is from is owned by Akamai Technologies, a company (an American one, by the way) that provides content mirroring services for many large, high-profile sites, apparently including whitehouse.gov for better performance. The site that you used to look it up is hosted in Germany, and thus gets a server hosted in Germany for lower latency.

[OafOfOffice]

Why perhaps?

Dick MORRIS: Yes, Obama. This was so unbelievable. Obama was the one pressing for less regulation and more spending. And he had to convince the Europeans. But eventually -- but Obama himself is a socialist, I believe, and he had no problem really with this.

This truly creates a global economic system. From now on, don't look to Washington for the rule making, look to Brussels.

Gordon Brown announced the creation of a "new world order" after the conclusion of the G20 summit of world leaders in London.

"Today’s decisions, of course, will not immediately solve the crisis. But we have begun the process by which it will be solved," Mr Brown said. "I think a new world order is emerging with the foundation of a new progressive era of international co-operation,"
