Bob Woodward said this evening on CNN that a “very senior person” at the White House warned him in an email 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.
“It makes me very uncomfortable to have the White House telling reporters, ‘You’re going to regret doing something that you believe in,’” Woodward said.
“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. “ This is so cool.
After the election I was posting warnings her that the tax fight to get ALL the cuts extended was one the GOP could not possibly win, so they should save their troops and ammunition for a more sensible fight, and pass a partial extension as early as possible.
But this one is different. Obama has been strutting around like a Pea-cock fluffed up by staring at his poll numbers and series of victories endlessly.
Some in the MSM are getting tired of carrying his water, after all the election is over and he doesn't need that protection anymore.
The GOP has a few good talking points for a change, compared to the tax fight.
His self confidence is getting the best of him.
