EXCLUSIVE: Agenda disappears from Obama Web site

Over the weekend President-elect Barack Obama scrubbed Change.gov, his transition Web site, deleting most of what had been a massive agenda copied directly from his campaign Web site.

Gone are the promises on how an Obama administration would handle 25 different agenda items - everything from Iraq and immigration to taxes and urban policy - all items laid out on his campaign Web site, www.BarackObama.com.

Instead, the official agenda on Change.gov has been boiled down to one vague paragraph proclaiming a plan “to revive the economy, to fix our health care, education, and social security systems, to define a clear path to energy independence, to end the war in Iraq responsibly and finish our mission in Afghanistan, and to work with our allies to prevent Iran from developing a nuclear weapon, among many other domestic and foreign policy objectives.”

“We are currently retooling the Web site,” said Obama spokesman Nick Shapiro.

The site went active on Wednesday and was available to the public Thursday. The agenda items, which were active for at least part of the weekend, appear to have been deleted by late Saturday.

"Now why hasn’t he gone to her funeral, or has the funeral gone?"

IIRC she was cremated and Maya, Obama's sister, spread the ashes out into the ocean from Grandma's favorite spot.

“One of his lackeys slipped today and said he’s ready to “rule” over us.”

Thats funny. A local newscaster in L.A. slipped today and called Osama bin Laden—”Obama Osama bin Laden”— on a newscast. TRUE story. Talk about your Freudian slips. I’m sure his job is toast after that.

Here's the Urban Policy page from Nov. 07, 2008 (from the Yahoo Cache)

Agenda Urban Policy

found by searching on "Obama Change Agenda Urban" in Yahoo. I'm sure the other pages are there as well, but you need some notion of what was on them.

Putting them on the change.gov site sort of changed them from "promises" to, at minimum "goals", and at worst "policy".

He should NOT have been able to buy a .gov website.

He didn't the GSA (general services administration) *GAVE* it to him. Just like they've given him offices. Of course the offices have common for the last several transitions, but a public relations propaganda site usually has to wait for the handover, and then it's called "whitehouse.gov".

FReepers knew about this Sunday, some may have known on Saturday, but of course FR was down, hard.

Funny how stuff around Obama “disappears”.

Like his college and grad school transcripts and his birth certificate.... Oh I forgot, the BC isn't gone, just hidden from public view. (It was most likely considered to be in the Public Domain, aka a "Public Record" when first filed, but things have changed).

Has FR been hacked recently? I have had trouble with the site recently, like this morning for example

[mad_as_he$$]

It's true I posted it today on a gun thread. Google has a cache and tinyurl has one also.
