Woodward: 'Secret government' at the root of problems
Breitbart via Politico ^ | Sunday, October 27, 2013 | Caitlin Emma

Posted on 10/27/2013 6:59:39 PM PDT by SunkenCiv

Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward said Sunday a huge “secret government” and a government on “automatic pilot” has led to many of the concerns now making headlines.

“They need to review this secret world,” he said of the Obama administration on “Face the Nation" on CBS. “You get to a point where it’s what do you worry about? Secret government.”

National Security Agency spying both domestic and abroad and the disastrous rollout of the Affordable Care Act are the results, he said.

“We have an incredibly powerful government that gets on automatic pilot,” he said. People aren’t checking all of the boxes and the administration didn’t properly “practice” Obamacare.

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story had Woodward appearing on the wrong show.

The Soviet secret police were also no secret, but they weren’t really appropriate dinnertime conversation.

That’s one issue but I was thinking of the ridiculous number of contractors making hundreds of billions off make work contracts.

Look at guys like James Clapper who was once an executive with the company that employed Edward Snowden but now heads the NSA.

Even down to the level of congressional staffers. One of John McCain’s former staffers went directly from his office to CEO of Boeing and since leaving Boeing is now GOP staff director for the Armed Services Committee.

The standard progressive delusion. It’s not their ideas, it’s just that someone, probably not them, did a poor job implementing their ideas. So here, “the secret world ate his healthcare.” The idea that a group of smart guys will do a good job of running huge parts of the world is a defective, evil idea.

What has Woodward done about it.

Where is his investigative reporting into Obama’s past?

Why isn’t he investigating and reporting on Obama, on his scandals.

No he has done nothing and now he speaks up.

F him too.

Woodward was probably working on the status of Joe the Plumber’s trade license or the DNA of Palin’s Down Syndrome child....

Could someone just bury this putrid, overrated turd already?

This clown's been dining out on his Watergate "journalism" for 40 years.

It is government by mediocracy and once the mediocre get in power they will never yield to those who are more talented than them.
