Over at Whitehouse.gov they have a new spiffy website promoting President Barack Obama’s agenda.  There is little specific about North Korea policy on the site but here is what I could find.  In the foreign policy section here is what is said about North Korea:

Strengthen the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty: Obama and Biden will crack down on nuclear proliferation by strengthening the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty so that countries like North Korea and Iran that break the rules will automatically face strong international sanctions.

North Korea is already breaking the rules and have been for years now and they just keep getting rewarded for doing so.  We will see if the Obama administration continues the rewards, which is what this will be if Obama decides to fly into Pyongyang:

Talk to our Foes and Friends: Obama and Biden will pursue tough, direct diplomacy without preconditions with all nations, friend and foe.

Can you imagine the propaganda victory for Kim Jong-il with the American President flying into Pyongyang?  I have always believed that the American President should agree to meet with Kim Jong-il, but in Seoul as Kim agreed to do after the 2000 Inter-Korean summit but of course never kept his word.

Here is what they think of the six party talks:

Seek New Partnerships in Asia: Obama and Biden will forge a more effective framework in Asia that goes beyond bilateral agreements, occasional summits, and ad hoc arrangements, such as the six-party talks on North Korea. They will maintain strong ties with allies like Japan, South Korea and Australia; work to build an infrastructure with countries in East Asia that can promote stability and prosperity; and work to ensure that China plays by international rules.

Obama appears to be criticizing the six party talks but does anyone really expect him to discontinue the six party talks?

In the Homeland Security page the Obama administration had this to say about North Korea:

Eliminate Iran’s and North Korea’s Nuclear Weapons Programs Through Tough, Direct Diplomacy: Use tough diplomacy — backed by real incentives and real pressures — to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and to eliminate fully and verifiably North Korea’s nuclear weapons program.

You mean their hasn’t been real incentives for North Korea to give up their nuclear weapons?  The Bush administration gave them nearly everything they wanted and at one time had real pressure on the regime until they backed down and went with Agreed Framework 2.0 which as we now see didn’t work.  Good luck with the verifiably part as well as the assumption that North Korea wants to give up its nuclear weapons.

And that is it that I could find about the Obama administration’s North Korea policy.  Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, & Israel all had their own foreign policy headings but anything about North Korea was spread out into different topics.  It would seem that North Korea would be as worthy of a singular foreign policy heading on the webpage or maybe this is a sign the administration has not formulated a North Korea policy yet that they are willing to articulate? If they are still looking for a North Korea policy they can start by looking here.  I also found it interesting that not one thing was mentioned about stopping North Korea’s nuclear proliferation activities.

Anyway the webpage is actually quite well done and just another indication of how web savvy the Obama campaign and now administration is.  It is worth checking out though much of the items on the agenda are the same as what you heard during the campaign.
