White House Website Transformed Within Minutes of Transition
Church Executive and WorldNet Daily reported yesterday that within minutes of Barack Obama taking the oath of office, a completely revamped White House website replaced the old one. The new website contains the lengthy policy agenda of the Obama administration. The Civil Rights portion of the Agenda includes a lengthy section on proposed steps to support the LGBT Community-- most of which were opposed by the Bush Administration as well as by conservative Christian groups. The new website also eliminates the pages devoted to President Bush's Faith-Based and Community Initiative (FBCI). (Here is Google's cache of the FBCI page as it appeared on the website of the Bush White House.)
