Yes, isn’t that interesting, Greg? Under Change.gov’s “Agenda,” we now see an awful lot of open space. That ought to be the place where interested people might reasonably turn to find out what the policy future holds; but now, all they’ll find there — in total — is the following:

The Agenda
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.

Planet Gore reader S.E., whose e-mail you mention, wrote: “You looked on Friday and saw some of the information about the plans for Energy. Under Agenda, none of those categories are there anymore. Maybe they realized that spelling out their plans to the American public may actually backfire?”

Maybe. Then again, anyone who floats the name of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to serve in their cabinet can hardly be accused of worrying what the public think, can they?
