Obama Office Calls Mulligan on Change.gov
So why have the pages outlining President-elect Barack Obama’s agenda been deleted from the president-elect’s Web site?
“We’re retooling the Web site,” said spokesman Nick Shapiro. “Basically, it was put up within hours after we won. We took everything down to rework it.”
So we’ll be watching for the newly retooled version. In the meantime, in the spirit of transparency, the transition team might want to say on the site what happened to the disappearing pages. There’s no evidence on the site that the information was ever there.

The House of Representatives passed President Barack Obama’s economic stimulus package, sending the $819 billion bill to the Senate, where it will face more opposition from Republicans. The economic stimulus package, chock full of cash advances to the nation, has finally been agreed upon by both the House and the Senate. The final version will likely be on the desk of President Obama by Friday. Part of the bill is the cash advances that several states are desperate for, such as California, who is staring down the barrel of a huge shortage. The bill has been through numerous revisions, such as cuts in the House, and then increases in the Senate. The final version appears to be completely pared down – but let’s hope it contains all the right cash advances for economic recovery.
