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.
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.
"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?"
Last weekend, Woodward called out Obama

Don’t doubt it Sperling is a punk.
Ha, this guy has got to be kidding. If "He was saying Woodward would regret it because Woodward would be proven wrong", then that's what he would have said. Anybody over the age of eight knows that the level of vagueness of the threat should be interpreted to be the level of violence implied.
Hi Bob, better watch out for those canadian made busses coming down the pike
this might be fun yet
Gene Sperling, per many threads tonight.
If you’re talking Deep Throat as it applies to 0, you my be more on target with ‘Leggie Rove’. The name fits so tight.
Hitler was a God to left also, then he attacked Stalin....
Journalist Bob Woodward blasts Obama "madness" in handling cuts
Article is from Reuters.
He had the backing of the press corps and left wing media owners in taking down Nixon. He doesn't have that kind of support to take out Obama. But, you can hope, wishful thinking.
Arkancide is painless compared with the Chicago Treatment!
If I were Bob, I’d be calling Robert Redford begging him to do another stand-in for me!
Mr. Woodward is not the only person being made “very uncomfortable” I live in Arizona where just released felons are wandering about....only Mexicans? Isn’t that profiling? This Marxist is making no bones about who and what he is or what he intends to do to America with the wrecking ball he is using. I commend Mr. Woodward for his honesty in reporting, perhaps this is the beginning of a break through for other news reporters to begin to report the truth, not an opinion....said she hopefully. Is Obama showing signs of madness?
Want some racism?....why did Obama call for only Mexicans to be released in Arizona? Isn't that profiling? Yes it was Obama who did this....Big Sis doesn't give the orders, her boss does.
Are you certain it isn’t Arry Bobama?
Thanks Ernest.
They will raid his house and find child porn on his computer.

QUESTION: Who ganged up on Bob Woodward?
Name the senior White Hut person, Bob.
You’re lying otherwise.
And now it appears that Lanny Davis is having a bit of pleasant feedback from the White Hut as well, per a shorty in News at Fox home page.
