Just because an idea isn't a bad one doesn't mean it's a legitimate function of the government, especially the federal government. But the wording has already been changed to make this a goal rather than a requirement, so it's hardly forcing anyone to do anything.
ETA:Here’s a cached page with the “required” language.

Here’s the changed version with the current “set a goal” language:

(both these were linked on Instapundit.com)
EATA: I think it's kind of interesting that the second also suggests remuneration for the work for the college kids, which didn't seem to be in the first one.

Obama's living up to change already.  Way to go, website editors!

That doesn't mean he flip flopped. The first draft could have been put up prematurely before it was given final approval, or something. Geez, some of you act like Obama doesn't have people (who make mistakes) working for him. He's not doing all of this stuff himself. Get real. Please.

Pay her no attention. She's still a little upset because a house fell on her sister.

Change You Can't Click On
After one big change, Obama makes a few smaller changes to his Web site.
Now that the election is over, it's time to break some campaign promises! Because of the Web's constant hunger for new information, President-elect Barack Obama is in a uniquely difficult spot. He's issued and revised so many white papers and policy proposals that if he so much as sneezes the wrong way, he risks reversing something published on his campaign Web site.......
