Barry is so used to getting positive press that he could probably not imagine Woodward writing something bad about him. Woodward, even though a lib, has at least a shred of journalistic integrity left and writes what he found.
He should have gone with Rolling Stone.
If their bet on giving Woodward access turns out wrong, White House aides will have little grounds for complaining that Woodward is out of the loop. At times during the reporting, according to administration officials and other sources familiar with the book, Woodward surprised top defense and intelligence officials by coming in for interviews armed with classified maps, in some cases labeled with code names for clandestine operations.
Nice to see the White House treats classified information so carefully. An investigation should be launched into who gave Woodward the classified info and they shold be fired and jailed post haste.
“Woodward, even though a lib, has at least a shred of journalistic integrity left and writes what he found.”
I certainly hope so....
... and Woodward is a lefty, so you know he's dressed things up quite a bit already.
Woodward has been known to pen some fiction, as well. The whole William Casey death bed tale is anorexically thin.
Jennifer Griffith and Fox News had a little different take:
Woodward might have thrown Obama a bone (sort of) in that “get out of Afghanistan” could possibly ignite his base of anti-war democrats to support him by a higher turn out of those democrats in November.
This is in the right direction. I can’t believe none of these rifts and infightings never happened before Nov 2008. Yet the journ0Lists were more than happy to foist this retard onto American public.
With that in mind, Woodward’s rehab for his reputation still has a long way to go.
When it comes to the ‘war effort’ - somehow it doesn’t seem right to be publishing so much ‘internal’ stuff during a current administration’s term. I feel that way, regardless of who is in office. I’m more concerned about exposing deficiencies (which, when it comes to Obama there doesn’t seem to be a short supply) out in public for our enemies to take advantage of.
Woodward’s book will confirm, sadly, what we’ve all known for months: Obama is incompetent and dangerous.
Woodward’s track record is good. He is methodical and unrelenting in documenting his facts. As the article says, “ “He does have this virulent independent streak, which is frankly a source of his credibility.”
So maybe this will open some eyes that have been wearing blinders.
THIS is Barry's legacy.
The excerpt from the Washington Post is even worse. Obama says we can “absorb a terrorist attack”, so for political reasons we are surrendering in Afghanistan, even though that would prevent terrorist attacks. Obama says without a withdrawal deadline, he would lose the entire Democratic Party.

How refreshing an idea ... Unbiased. It could happen!
Hubris, is a terrible thing to waste.
The book also says that Obama ignored all his generals, and instead came up with his own 6 page strategy for surrender.
‘Woodward writing something bad about him’
I think you just found the target. And mislabeled it.
Writing facts and truth is not ‘writing something bad’ about him.
But that’s what it will be labeled, eh?
It’s being pushed really hard by the left....
It’s for Obama’s advantage. He can’t talk about what he and the Democrats have actually done.
Another diversion.
To stir up the base ..
Obama gives new meaning to the phrase "living in a bubble." He and his staff don't have a clue (and don't care) about the real world ramifications of Obama's misguided policies. If Conservatives stay united and turn out in large numbers on 11/2, this is one bubble it will be a pleasure to see burst.
Besides injecting DC with new blood, it will send Dems (and RINOs) to the unemployment line where they actually have to live under the edicts they've been legislating for everyone else.
