Bob Woodward: ‘Very Senior’ White House Official Warned Me
The Blaze ^ | February 27, 2013 | Jason Howerton

Appearing on CNN Wednesday, the Washington Post’s 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 Obama’s handling of the impending forced cuts known as the sequester.

“I think they’re 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. “It’s Mickey Mouse.”

“Very Senior” usually means the Big Enchilada Himself.

What is that accent he has - Ohio? Michigan?

Woodward grew up in Wheaton, Ill, a suburb of Chicago. He then went to Yale. He sounds a lot like my Dad. . I grew up in Iowa. .

Wow, now wouldn't that be something. Doesn't sound like Obama though. . too much effort. Levin said Woodward talked with a male at the WH for over a half an hour and the threat was his parting shot. .

I’d like to be wrong, but my bet is Woodward will soften and back this down within 72 hours.
