Frank Rich asks "Why has there been so little transparency and so much evasiveness so far? The answer, I fear, is that too many of the administration’s officials are too marinated in the insiders’ culture to police it, reform it or own up to their own past complicity with it." Obama's "Katrina Moment"? [NYTimes.com]. Newt Gingrich calls this "astonishing." Peggy Noonan in the Wall Street Journal dubs it the "incredible lightness" of the Obama policy team.
Wow. Who woulda thunk that only eight weeks into the new Administration Americans — and especially liberal columnists from the New York Times — would be pondering, let alone writing publicly, whether Barack Obama's crew is "out of touch" with mainstream anger?
