The Washington Post's Bob Woodward ripped into President Barack Obama on "Morning Joe" today, saying he's exhibiting a "kind of madness I haven't seen in a long time" for a decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because of budget concerns. "Can you imagine Ronald Reagan sitting there and saying, 'Oh, by the way, I can't do this because of some budget document?'" Woodward said. "Or George W. Bush saying, 'You know, I'm not going to invade Iraq because I can't get the aircraft carriers I need?'" Or even Bill Clinton saying, 'You know, I'm not going to attack Saddam Hussein's intelligence headquarters,' ... because of some budget document?" The Defense Department said in early February that it would not deploy the U.S.S. Harry Truman to the Persian Gulf, citing budget concerns relating to the looming cuts known as the sequester. "Under the Constitution, the President is commander-in-chief and employs the force. And so we now have the President going out because of this piece of paper and this agreement. 'I can’t do what I need to do to protect the country,'" Woodward said. "That’s a kind of madness that I haven't seen in a long time," he said. Woodward's harsh criticism came after he stirred controversy last weekend by calling out Obama for what he said was "moving the goal posts" on the sequester by requesting that revenue be part of a deal to avert it.

A Youtube video is making him do it.
Hey,
America was behind VietNam til uncle Walt turned against it.
Maybe Woodward will lead the way against this criminal magic negro snake oil salesman!
“Good news, but my blind guess is that it doesn’t catch on:”
My optimism says “maybe” it will. My realism says “never”.
>>Makes you wonder who establishment libs will side with if Woodward completely turns on Obama.
Regardless of what really happened and what may follow, Woodward is a whore with no morals at all. He could not even let Bill Casey die in peace.
Probably he has another book in the works.
Yeah, him and EVERY other 'journalist' that had any ink. The press was after Nixon since Alger Hiss days, and they NEVER let up. With Watergate, Nixon stupidly gave them the ammunition they needed. Woodward was point man (with Bernstein) on Watergate, but once the blood was in the water, every journalist was in the pool.
Nixon never had a chance.
I don’t understand Woodward’s confusion on the matter.
Obama is nothing but a Chicago thug politician, who’s used to employing union thugs and criminals to “hurt” those who don’t want to “go along to get along,” meaning fold.
He’s ordering his minions to release criminals, scare the hell out of the uninformed with threats of cuts in places that are completely unnecessary, and genuinely attempting to do as much harm to the country as possible.
No different than any Chicago thug politician, just on a much larger scale.

New Book in the making for Woodward?
Does Woodward have enough loyal friends to take on Odumbi?
Does odumbi?
Marcy Park where the blood runs up the hill. Don’t go there Mr. Woodward.
Thanks Impala64ssa.
Even though some guy allegedly claimed to be deep throat from his death bed, I'm still not convinced.
