In “Dreams From My Father,” Obama showed passion, lyricism, empathy and an exquisite understanding of character and psychological context — all the qualities that he has stubbornly resisted showing as president.

b) Did Candidate Obama "seem completely exposed"? By his fawning lapdog media? Not in anyone's dreams.
