In his first act as President, Obama approved a memo by White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel which orders all federal agencies to freeze former President Bush's pending regulations until the new administration has a change to review them.
On his new Web site, WhiteHouse.gov, the President also issued a proclamation that Jan. 20, 2009, is to be a "national day of renewal and reconciliation." President Obama called upon all Americans to "serve one another" as a way of helping to "remake this nation." Obama's first official proclamation follows, as published by WhiteHouse.gov on Jan. 20.

Also this, Obama keeps his pledge to gays and lesbians:
They're now in black and white on the White House website. Full civil unions and federal rights. Employment non-discrimination. A repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. Expanded Adoption Rights. On DADT, the site reads:
The President will work with military leaders to repeal the current policy and ensure it helps accomplish our national defense goal.
Also, Obama will discuss the economic stimulus plan:
Obama will convene his senior economic advisers today to discuss his economic stimulus plan, the White House said on Tuesday shortly after his inauguration.
