Why does Woodward give this president a pass?

The late President Richard Nixon may not have been good for the country, but he's certainly been good for Bob Woodward.

Woodward is the famous Washington Post reporter who, along with Carl Bernstein, broke the scandalous Watergate break-in and cover-up story 40 years ago that eventually led to Nixon's resignation.

obama is a criminal and the democrat party is a criminal organization. Woodward & Bernstein are just foot soldiers in the mob.

Apparently, the real answer is not that obvious.

Because the people in his administration are such ego maniacs that they give him great access.

Mark my words....ten minutes after Hillary wins the nomination the hit book comes out.

There is no integrity in the media. This means you, Bob.

Birds, feathers, flocking. Worthless Woodward is just another Marxist.

I guess. I think it's a form of white racism.

What is interesting in the book is the account of Nixon declaring that the bombing of the north during the Vietnam War was effective, even though Nixon privately believed that it was not. He wanted to look strong during his 1972 re-election campaign.

The note in question was written on January 3, 1972. At that point, we were not bombing North Vietnam and hadn't done so since 1968.

Nixon resumed bombing North Vietnam in May, 1972 in response to the Communists' Easter Offensive. Through the use of "smart" bombs and mines dropped in North Vietnamese harbors, this campaign was much more effective than the previous bombing campaign of 1965-1968.

In December, Nixon, against the advice of nearly all of his senior advisers, including Henry Kissinger sent B-52's over North Vietnam. When the campaign ended, there were hardly any targets in North Vietnam worth bombing. Shortly afterwards, the North Vietnamese agreed to the Paris peace accords. The POW's, who were released shortly afterwards certainly thought that this bombing campaign was effective.

I don’t believe he has. He was hot for a time about the IRS scandal, the real scandal that was never pursued strong enough.

Just as he was pushing the story, some controversial stuff started to be reported about him and he backed off. That’s how it looked to me.

They are beyond Democrats, they are subversives intoxicated by “Watergate” as their defining moment

At the end of the day even the Democrat party would evolve into the Party Apparatus...

But they have a BIG surprise comin...

We are not gonna lay down for this crap

Woodward writes about presidents who fall short of their own public goals and standards. Why would he lower himself to writing about a treasonous usurper who is succeeding in every destructive plan he implements?

W&B were a couple of no-talent newspaper schmucks “Deep Throat” decided to throw a bone. Given the hatred of Nixon by print in general, they could have wiped their butts on a piece of paper and put a headline on it that said “Dirty Nixon Watergate Smears” and they’d have gotten a Pulitzer Prize for it.

Always were no-talent, always will be. At least Bernstein had the decency to stop pretending like he wrote the Bible equivalent like this cretin Woodward. He needs either needs to go on off to history or take some speech classes or just shut the f@ck up altogether.

Yep. Woodward and Bernstein sold their Soul and were “allowed” fame and money-—for their control over the “perceptions” of the masses. Truth-—never.

He is a stooge-—he writes what he is told to write from the puppet-masters-—the satanic sodomites who want One World government-—which includes Kissinger. Everything Woodward says or prints is “approved” by his masters. That is why the sodomites are trying to get total control over the internet.

They HAVE to control ALL your ideas and information (as well as the minds of all children/Common Core) for the NWO.
