EXCLUSIVE: Agenda disappears from Obama Web site

Apropos this thread in which we were discussing the Obama agenda and it's negatives, it appears that none of that stuff is going over well with voters.

According to the Washington Times, ALL of the agenda has been scrubbed from the Change.gov website, and has been replaced with the following paragraph:
President-Elect Obama and Vice President-Elect Biden have developed innovative approaches to challenge the status quo in Washington and to bring about the kind of change America needs.

The Obama Administration has a comprehensive and detailed agenda to carry out its policies. The principal priorities of the Obama Administration include: 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.
That's it. Gone are the separate web pages for each of 25 different agenda issues. And as we know, at lease one of those pages had been edited before they were all taken down.

This prompts a few questions...

1. which of the propeller beanie wearing policy geeks over there is running that monkey house?

2. do they really think they are fooling anybody besides Chris Matthews and the MSNBC news department?

3. has it finally occurred to somebody on the transition team that maybe they set the bar too high even for themselves to get over it?

4. do they really think they are fooling anybody besides Chris Matthews and the MSNBC news department?

5. what are they hiding?

6. do they really think they are fooling anybody besides Chris Matthews and the MSNBC news department?

I could go on... but seriously, do they think that nobody notices this stuff? And he's going to "lead" us? God help all of us.

If you go to the Armed Polite Society they have some linkys to the information. We still have it for proof. With the internet, making information disappear is difficult.

Well Duh? Is there anyone out there who does not know that these people (lawyers claiming to be public servants) will say anything to get elected? Fixin' the economy and settin' up universal health care should keep them all busy for awhile. After that, who knows....

Amen to that. It could be a curse or a blessing, depending upon circumstances, but this time it's a blessing for our side.

Perhaps Imperial Emperor Obama figured out we have a little thing called the US Constitution, and a boat load of guns to defend it...After every American must own 12 guns each by now with the rate gun sales have take off.

From the Washington Times article:
"The site still contains pages about how to apply for jobs in the Obama administration..."

I'll keep that in mind after he cuts NASA's budget and puts me out of a job. Oh, wait...I've still got that "clinging to guns and religion" problem that will probably prevent me from getting employment with his administration.

He is saying he will issue "Presidential Decrees" on some issues. That scares the you know what out of me. This guy thinks he's the king. He needs to read his job definition again.

What is scarier than that is the amount of people who act like he is closer to the second coming and a savior to the world than a king!
:shock: :banghead: :grumble

I think "RULE" was the word his spokesperson used.

Yep, "rule" was the word used...And the context cannot be spun any other way...

But only a few notice...And what can you do about it anyway...

These people are begining to frighten me...They are out of their league even before the game starts...

All I can say is look at my signature line...

The board is set, all it will take is one wrong move...
