http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2013/07/25/obama-promises-disappear-from-web/This promise - of particular interest - was one that disppeared:
"Protect Whistleblowers: Often the best source of information about
waste, fraud, and abuse in government is an existing government
employee committed to public integrity and willing to speak out. Such
acts of courage and patriotism, which can sometimes save lives and
often save taxpayer dollars, should be encouraged rather than stifled.
We need to empower federal employees as watchdogs of wrongdoing and
partners in performance. Barack Obama will strengthen whistleblower
laws to protect federal workers who expose waste, fraud, and abuse of
authority in government. Obama will ensure that federal agencies
expedite the process for reviewing whistleblower claims and
whistleblowers have full access to courts and due process."
Projects like the Sunligh Foundations and others are making this kind
of revisionism much more difficult to pull off.
