Change.gov, the website created by the Obama transition team in 2008, has effectively disappeared sometime over the last month.
While the front splash page for Change.gov has linked to the main White House website for years, until recently, you could still continue on to see the materials and agenda laid out by the administration. This was a particularly helpful resource for those looking to compare Obama's performance in office against his vision for reform, laid out in detail on Change.gov.
According to the Internet Archive, the last time that content (beyond the splash page) was available was June 8th -- last month.
Why the change?
Here's one possibility, from the administration's ethics agenda:
Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled. We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process. It may be that Obama's description of the importance of whistleblowers went from being an artifact of his campaign to a political liability. It wouldn't be the first time administration positions disappear from the internet when they become inconvenient descriptions of their assurances.

I wonder if some enterprising soul archived the page someplace?
I wish Obama would disappear along with his lackeys.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Thanks to Google we can see that the website has a date on it of July 16, 2013. It may still possible to get the last copy of the website from Google.
What?
I don’t get it.
He don’t need no stinking Promises
First they take “1984” as an operations manual (see NSA snooping), and now they look to “Animal House” for instruction by changing the writing on the propaganda wall. Who’s going to notice, remember, or care?
Something very insidious is in the works, folks. The parallels to points in history are striking. Scrubbing of libraries/databases is akin to the Nazi book burnings. They don’t want anything incriminating to remain.
It’s like watching a big storm form in the distance. You can’t do a damn thing to get out of the way and just watch in horror as the maelstrom grows.
I meant “Animal Farm”, not “Animal House”. I must have engaged in distracted typing.
or....maybe their contract with the webhosting company ran out and they just quit paying the bill?
Occam’s Razor
Funny, I knew what you meant anyway...there are enough parallels...
From HP:
“The White House did not respond to multiple requests for comment on why the page was deleted. The site had offered a way to compare Obama’s promises and administration actions and still can be viewed on the Wayback archive.”

He who controls the past controls the future.
He who controls the present controls the past.
But he doesn’t control the present. Here’s the proof:
“If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period.”
According to his HHS goons ...... Nobama was wrong.
Long live Free Republic!
Disappeared? Well they don’t call him the “Magic Negro” for nothing!
Nothing disappears on the Interwebs. That goes for the Left, too.
Easy...it highlights the blatant hypocrisy and lying of this criminal regime.
