Obama blames liberals for demanding civil liberties but not deregulation?
I saw this http://tpmcafe.com/talk/2008/02/obamas-economics.php and then searched for the review in question. Here is what Gary Hart says:

Obama thinks Democrats have been “wrong to run away from a debate about values,” though exactly who has been guilty of running away is not made clear, and his correct definition of values — “the standards and principles that the majority of Americans deem important in their lives, and in the life of the country” — is hardly what the evangelical polemicists who have hijacked the traditional Republican Party have in mind. He is particularly evocative on the issue of ideological inconsistency, blaming liberals for demanding civil liberties but not deregulation and conservatives for wanting deregulation of markets but encouraging wiretapping. “Values,” Obama writes, “are faithfully applied to the facts before us, while ideology overrides whatever facts call theory into question.”

As I have said before, more vetting is needed.
