I’M SURE DAN FROOMKIN’S TITLE IS RACIST SOMEHOW: The Dark Side of the Obama White House. “But a case can be made that what’s even more surprising is Obama’s abuse of secrecy. Publicly an advocate of government transparency and oversight, Obama has nevertheless hidden the most controversial and unilateral aspects of his presidency — including new ways of waging acknowledged and unacknowledged wars — more thoroughly and effectively than anyone might have imagined. . . . And another question: What ever happened to Obama the liberal civil libertarian?”

I think he’s hiding out with the Obama who promised “net spending cuts.”
