The New York Times' Maureen Dowd turns on the man she helped elect president: 

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.  It was a book that promised a president who could see into the hearts of other people. But there's so much you don't learn about candidates in campaigns, even when they seem completely exposed.
