Appearing on CNN Wednesday, the Washington Posts Bob Woodward said a very senior person at the White House warned him that he would regret doing this, referring to his outspoken criticism of President Barack Obamas handling of the impending forced cuts known as the sequester.
I think theyre confused, Woodward told CNN host Wolf Blitzer. Woodward apparently went on to criticize Obama further over the sequester the same day he received the warning from the White House.
It makes me very uncomfortable for the White House to be telling reporters, you are going to regret doing something that you believe in, he added. Its Mickey Mouse.

The headline now on Drudge: WHITE HOUSE THREATENS WOODWARD: 'YOU WILL REGRET DOING THIS'
Go Bob! I hope this is the beginning of the end. Maybe other reporters will now have the guts to start reporting on the real Obama.

I guess he is now learning the hard way that Nixon was small potatos compared to Obama.

And if the same rank of person in the Nixon whitehouse had issued the same threat, what would the news story look like? You can bet it would name the threatening funtionary of this budding dictatorship.

I think this is perhaps a sign that the wheels are about to come off the OZero wagon. No one I know actually cares about the looming sequestration. In fact most are quite ok with it. Other than loony lefties no one thinks the world will come to an end on Friday. And little by little reporters are waking up to the fact that their love, Obama, is simply using them.

Other than loony lefties no one thinks the world will come to an end on Friday.Let's just hope the GOP eunuchs don't cave at the last minute so everyone can see that, indeed, a piddly 2% reduction in the rate of Fedzilla's budget increase will not usher in the apocalypse.

I hope Woodward has top notch security, he may need it. Amazing.Me too. Glad he 'went public' with it. I really do hope many members of the media will see this as an attack on 'one of their own' and circle the wagons. We'll see.
Threats = Tyranny.
