OVER THE WEEK END CHANGE ?


I posted on NOV 7th on this I guess just right before this action . Now I feel how quick CHANGE is coming !!!

Here's some change that supporters of President-elect Obama may not want to see: all of the policy commitments on specific issues have been removed from his transition Web site.
On Nov. 7, global health advocates noticed that some of the details of Obama's "fight global poverty" statement had been removed. Specifically, the site no longer promised to fully fund debt cancellation for the world's poorest countries or provide the full U.S. contribution to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.
Activists already were concerned, since boosting foreign aid was the one thing Obama mentioned during the campaign when asked what proposals he'd have to scale back due to the faltering economy.
"If this is becoming an easy scapegoat it would be deeply problematic," said Matthew Kavanagh, the global campaigns director for the RESULTS Educational Fund, an anti-hunger and poverty group.
By this morning, all of the issue-specific pages on the transition site had been removed from the agenda section. In its place, a statement that mentioned details but provided none at all: "The Obama Administration has a comprehensive and detailed agenda to carry out its policies."
Still, most activists believe Obama does have plans to undo a Bush global health order, known as the Mexico City policy, that bars U.S. funding for groups that provide or promote abortion overseas, and another that blocks aid to the United Nations Population Fund.

NOW WE KNOW WHAT CHANGE IS----?
