Obama may very well have entered this using FCKEditor himself. Evidence: The title:

    <strong>Executive Order -- Presidential Records</strong>
Empty paragraphs and all, this looks like most article content that gets spit out of a CMS. Of course, I have no reason to believe that it was Obama in particular, but you never know, it was his first executive order...

Also, a sign of things to come for lobbyists:

Wait, how does the title mean Obama did it directly? I'd suspect that he drafted the order, but there's no evidence of this being anything other than a copy.

The no-lobbyists order has been a long time coming. I'm thrilled.

Obama read it word for word to his secretary, while jogging, over his blackberry phone. It's pretty cool news regardless.
