In an interview broadcast on Monday's ABC News' World News Tonight With Diane Sawyer, Bob Woodward, author of the new book, Obama's War, told Sawyer he was unable to 'crack the code' of silence surrounding First Lady Michelle Obama.
It was a startling admission from the man who made himself famous with Watergate and later claimed to have sneaked past CIA guards to obtain a deathbed confession from Reagan CIA Director William Casey.
It is also a testament to the fear of Michelle Obama that while classified documents are routinely passed to Woodward, no one dared say a word, kind or unkind, about the First Lady.
Sawyer introduced the subject of Michelle Obama, saying, "It turns out even Woodward, the king of getting people to talk, can't crack the wall of silence aoout the president's formidable wife."
Sawyer asked Woodward, "You've written before about Laura Bush's role. Where is Michelle Obama in all this?
An uncomfortable Woodward replied, "I don't know. And I confess to not cracking that code, and I wish I had."
Sawyer followed-up, "Glean anything about her role?"
Woodward meekly responded, "She wants him home for dinner on time with her and the girls."
They’re all afraid of her. No surprise there.
She knows where the birth certificate is.
Thanks!!!

Yep, that’s pretty much how I see her...and least we forget, they had to shut her up early on for many of her statements. If they are secluding her it is not to protect her...it’s to protect them from her.
Looking at woodwards face... it was so easy to see the truth... he knows and is scared to death to say... but we know anyway.

I saw the interview with Woodward last night on Nightline and it was “sickening” how much of an informercial for Obama before the mid-term.
You could see right through it and I hope America saw the same thing.
I guarantee that if any Republican gets in the White House in 2012, Woodward will not have access this time around.
So, why did Woodward really ONLY write about 0bama and no mention of Michelle?
Brings to mind the classic line: "That's cause droids don't pull people's arms out of their sockets when they lose. Wookies have been known to do that."
Either he doesn't know much about her, or he does know but is unwilling to talk about it because it would hurt the Leftist agenda. I suspect the latter.
Perfect!

He doesn't even want to.
