Labels: Elections, Government Corruption
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.
The president-elect is already looking forward to 2012. It's much easier to claim to have "changed" something when people forget what your promises were in the first place.
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."
