You can’t criticize the Obama administrations current website with them having so few days in office. They are not even 2 months in office give me a break.

They placed all of their signing statements on the News portion of the website and had a list of "Statements of Administration Policy" linked off the OMB website. Further, they had a daily transcript of the press briefing, which the current administration only recently got around to doing. To be honest, I do not know why the current administration needed to take down he whole website and start anew--they could have made stylistic changes to give it that feel of "Change" without having to start from scratch, which is what I suspect is behind their lack of information thus far.
