EXCLUSIVE: Agenda disappears from Obama Web site

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

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.

The site still contains pages about how to apply for jobs in the Obama administration, biographies of top transition team members and a call for Americans to serve in volunteer jobs and for students to do 50 hours of community service. The site also has press releases and a transition blog.

The 25 agenda items are still available on Mr. Obama's campaign si

Non-story.

This is quite common in web development. If you need to launch a new site quickly, it will likely use a lot of content from other sites. The content is this case needs to be rewritten to fit the new format.

He's gone back on all of his promises already. We must impeach before President Obama does any more damage.

This website change is clearly along the lines of treason.

I thought Obama was a messenger sent from god to save the United States and that agenda was his covenant with the chosen people.

Now that the agenda is gone we're doomed folks. doomed. God has decided another path which only Obama is privy to.

Well it is unsurprising nitpick coming from the usual locations. Get over it folks. The man hasn't even taken the Oath yet and you're acting so defeatist.

LOL. This coming from one of the bots still attacking McCain and Palin. Obama will be challenged for the next 4 years. Get used to it.

Defeatist is putting it nicely. Like five year olds on a vindictive tantrum.
