I care, and I think the article points out something that few of us know about or even tend to worry about: who is spending time at the WH bending the president's ear, and how much influence does that bending have? The answer to that second question comes out in the policies endorsed by the WH.
So, what irks me is the constant 2 steps forward, one step back that the Obama administration has been doing over the last few months.
"Oh, we're AGAINST that Bush policy!"
"Oh, wait, we meant THIS Bush policy!"
"Well, not that policy EXACTLY, but we'll look into it."
"We're still looking into it--we just want to be SURE, you know...be safe."
Bleh. So much doublespeak is nauseating. Fucking be clear like you ran on, bitches. You ran on transparency. You ran on visibility. You ran on telling us like it is and holding everyone to that line.
And then you turned around and 1) fleeced the taxpayers to further the Bush agenda 2) refused to publish the pix from that awful Abu Grahib incident 3) keeping the illegal wire-tapping and 4) basically fubaring any real move towards those so-called transparency moves you talked so high and mighty about about oh 9 mos ago.
Buncha fucking disappointments, the lot of them.
