WOODWARD: ‘VERY SENIOR’ WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL WARNED ME I’D ‘REGRET’ ATTACKING OBAMA OVER SEQUESTER
The Blaze ^ | 02/27/2013 | 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.”

CNN invited a White House official to debate Woodward on-air, but the offer was declined,

Can’t have people criticizing the Dear Reader.

I’m really enjoying this. It gives me great personal satisfaction to watch the White House acting like a bunch of thugs, and a Washington icon like Woodward being the target. It might sober up a few people.

Be careful, Bob. We've seen this sort of "independence" before...

Correct.

Woodward also knew about the Petraeus investigation before the election and did not break the story.

Yep, because Soros, Axelrod, and Rahm Emanuel threatened them.

Maybe if people see that Woodward can live after revealing threats made to him, they will realize that we have to de-fang these wolves before they are the death of us. Expose the stench and openly refer to 2008 as the coup we all know it was.

Here is the information concerning the quote:

HERE NOW IS THE UPDATE WSI RECEIVED VIA A SOURCE FROM CHICAGO THIS MORNING:

A rep from Jarrett office was in today. She gave us a finish line pep talk and then afterwards, heard her saying how Jarrett is very excited about a 2nd term agenda and a big part of that agenda is to punish everyone who opposed them during the first term and the campaign. Strange that everything was “Ms. Jarrett wants this, and Ms. Jarrett is looking forward to that”. You hardly heard Obama’s name mentioned by her which I guess reinforces what people are saying. Valerie Jarrett really is the power in the White House. I know that when her representative showed up it was like royalty was visiting. All the big dogs were lined up to meet her and acting real friendly and they gave us a heads up an hour before and told us we better “put on a good show” while she was here.

The part that really stuck out to me was when I overheard the rep say that Jarrett told them, “After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.” She was talking directly to about three of them. Sr. staff. And she wasn’t trying to be quiet about it at all. And they were all listening and shaking their heads and smiling while she said it. Pretty creepy.

Why are they so confident about winning next week? We aren’t getting any numbers in the office that has any of us knowing Obama will win. It will be close. Jarrett and her people seem so confident. Why is that? Do you have any information on why she is so confident? I’m worried. Benghazi was supposed to play big this weekend. That is what everybody here was bracing for last week. You could really tell the staffers were freaking out. Now nobody is talking about it. Like it was never a concern. Like it never even happened. Don’t you have people to help with that? What happened? You said it was going to be a game changer. I told some others it would be and now I’m kind of hanging out there. Not the only one around here who got a real bad vibe after the Alex thing. Help! Need some good news after today!

*******************

Sly says: We have the freedom to believe this information or not. Given the present resident of the White House and his wife and his cronies and toadies under his employ I personally would not put it past any of them to have said stuff even worse.

Since outfits like The People for The American Way are hellbent on disqualifying it there just might be something to it.

Read the comments at the end of the article. Some people might finally be getting it. I say some because according to a radio show host I sometimes listen to in the morning, three-fourths of the people don’t care according to a recent survey.
