Traditionally only a few people could access the full PDB. Under Obama however the President’s Daily Brief went to almost everyone at top levels in his administration.<ref>While the practice was a laudable admission of Obama's weakness in foreign policy and national security matters, and his need of expert advisement, on the other hand it led a bloated feeling of self-importance and arrogance among the inexperirnced cadre of [[progressive]] [[liberal]]s Obama gathered around him. https://youtu.be/GPPx83VoLyY Farkas, [[Jimmy the Weasel]] Comey, [[Samantha Power]] are few examples, but a full accounting is too long to list.</ref> The ''Washington Post'' said:
