The fact that people at the White House and other central government offices don't do IT strategic planning is more likely a function of the CIO's being selected for technology prowess and continuing desire to push the CIO out of business transformation discussion.  The real issue here is not death of IT strategy but deminished role of the CIO.  Calling the job a CIO in the Obama Administration and then moving away from the authorities, responisbilites, and accountability clearly illustrates to desire to focus on form over function.  In addition, politicians seem to be moving away from the ability to apply management reform concepts (which nowadays are generally technology and business case driven).  Today's management reforms require movement to shared or common services and data.  Government leaders are threatened by sharing when they have to give up ownership, and rightly so because that has often led to diminished budgets.  New strategies are going to be driven by future rounds of deficit reduction, which must go beyond shared pain by cutting across programs, and focus on strategic choices...even in the US we are still at the point of shared pain instead of strategy for effective and efficient government in the 21st century. The issue is death of legacy bureacracy building strategies, not IT strategy.  Unfortunately, client-server applications that dominate government are insulators against change. But, new IT strategies will emerge in government when politicians figure out their strategy for rationalizing the bureacratic mess that worked fine last century but doesn't today.
