Politico ran an article yesterday concerning the actions taken by the Barack Obama White House that have not been reported. According to the article:
"In his first weeks in office, President Barack Obama shut down his predecessor's system for reviewing regulations, realigned and expanded two key White House policymaking bodies and extended economic sanctions against parties to the conflict in the African nation of Cote D'Ivoire."
The changes made were never announced by the White House press office or placed on the official website. They only reason the changes were discovered is that they were sent to the Federal Register, a daily list of certain presidential activities prepared by the National Archives. After Politico called the omission to the attention of the White House, the changes made were reported on the White House web site.
There is nothing sinister here, but we do need to pay attention to changes made by any President that impact the way our country is governed.
