BOB WOODWARD: A 'Very Senior' White House Person Warned Me I'd 'Regret' What I'm Doing (on CNN)
Business Insider ^ | 2/2713 | Brett LoGiurato

Posted on 02/27/2013 4:17:16 PM PST by Clint N. Suhks

Bob Woodward said this evening on CNN that a "very senior person" at the White House warned him that he would "regret doing this," the same day he has continued to slam President Barack Obama over the looming forced cuts known as the sequester.

CNN host Wolf Blitzer said that the network invited a White House official to debate Woodward on-air, but the White House declined. "I think they're confused," Woodward said of the White House's pushback on his reporting.

Earlier today on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Woodward ripped into Obama in what has become an ongoing feud between the veteran Washington Post journalist and the White House. Woodward said Obama was showing 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.

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.

"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 on MSNBC.

Obviously the clowns in the White House never read Mark Twain to wit: “Never pick a fight with someone who buys print paper by the ton and ink by the barrel”.

I often think more of one Capt. Queeq of the “Cain Mutany” when it comes to Obama.

I had classes with him at Fayetteville. I knew he was dead but was it ‘Arkansas Suicide’?

Bob Woodward will "sometimes" be a journalist. But honestly he's often caught making things up, like when he records people's private conversations, or even thoughts.

I'm glad he sees SOMETHING about obama to report on.

But too little, too late.

Where has he been for the last 4 years?

And where is Carl Bernstein?

How come Bob is always working on some scoop, but Carl hasn't made any kind of news "splash" in years?

I wonder what the Obama Admin did to piss off ol’ Bob Woodward? Wish I’d been a fly on the wall.

Arkansas homicide. Shot by a guy with no motive, who quit his job that very day, carried a post-it note with Gwatney’s name written on it, and was later gunned down by police after a car chase. It didn’t make much sense. The guy apparently went for a rifle in his trunk to shoot at police, but he had a handgun in his waistband? Unfortunately a truck obscured the police dash cam.

Just another for the pile of mysterious deaths that befell those who got in Obama’s way. Gwatney would have likely derailed Obama’s nomination by giving Arkansas’ delegates to Hillary unexpectedly.

I think the president’s second term is already starting to come apart. Contraction, lavish vacations, obvious lies about sequester, Robert Gibbs admitting his opaqueness, and now threatening Woodward. I predict his approval will drop after this sequester goes through.

I wish that were true, but too many people are too invested in their delusions.

Worse, they'd have to admit that people they despise (us) were right - and they'll never admit to that. The entire world they've collectively built inside their deranged heads would come crashing down.
