On January 21, President Obama signed an Executive Order requiring ethics commitments for officials of his administration. As has been covered here, that commitment has already been compromised.

Go there today and you find this message:
Six days later and the website still hasn’t been updated? This EO has been in the works for months. Furthermore, none of the other ‘agenda’ pages has been pulled down. According to Roll Call, this is what you found on the page before it went dark:
I wonder why it’s down for such a long time — at least in Internet terms — and what will (or won’t) be there when it goes back up.
