Articles: Obama: 1, Informed Public: 0
I've been worried about this for some time: the government would start either manipulating the data or hiding it altogether.
Eliminating the Abstract is not just a matter of crimping the mirth of data hobbyists like me; it is ominous.

It is hiding the truth.
It is Soviet-like.
It is a short step from airbrushing people out of photos.
The Abstract has been around for 133 years, or about a century longer than the Department of Education has.

Reps demand cutting budgets --> They slash the Department of Labor budget --> Department of labor slashes programs, one of which some dude happens to like

And somehow this is A) Obama's fault and B) Communist.
