    I thought this was passage was chilling. Surprised it didn't get more attention:

    Under the president's instructions, the U.S. should not withhold or censor government files merely because they might be embarrassing, but federal employees last year regularly misapplied the law. In emails that AP obtained from the National Archives and Records Administration about who pays for Michelle Obama's expensive dresses, the agency blacked-out a sentence under part of the law intended to shield personal, private information, such as Social Security numbers, phone numbers or home addresses. But it failed to censor the same passage on a subsequent page.

    The sentence: "We live in constant fear of upsetting the WH (White House)."

    Obama always has hidden agendas and never speaks the truth. Who knows what his agenda is on this one- somehow protecting his precious government workers and keeping potentially politically damaging information from getting out?
