White House threatens Bob Woodward

Obama is acting like a dictator. Throwing temper tantrums and releasing criminals onto lawful society. Threatening reporters. This is a disgrace.

Anyone who supports the thug in the WH should be ashamed of themselves

I'm ashamed this clown is my President

There is nothing in that piece that says Woodward was threatened by President Obama. The title of the piece is; "BOB WOODWARD: A 'Very Senior' White House Person Warned Me I'd 'Regret' What I'm Doing"lling

Just stop

His most senior aids are a reflection of Obama.

Obama is not some bubble boy that exists in this special chamber, being served food through a special tube or something. The WH threatened a reporter. This is crossing the line. Obama just stepped in a big pile of *&^%

since government , the executive branch has POWER, then the average citizen, it is most assuredly is a threat.

note the wording, from Woodward himself.......warned!

No, the word threatens in not the same as warns.

I understand the title was generated by the software, but it still breaks the guidelines. I have reported it, so we will see what happens.

Did you happen to do this because you have no legs to stand on here?

Btw, you might want to check the rules yourself. ;)
 
As far as I'm concerned, Woodward can either put up or shut up. His citations have never consisted of anything but unnamed "sources" and unidentified 'high ranking officials.' For all anyone knows, it could be the janitor or he made the whole thing up.

Come on, man. Do you seriously have any doubt about who is running the show at the WH? Do you seriously think a "senior" person in the WH would have the balls to say something like this on his own?
 
Read the Guidelines for the Breaking News forums:
Looks to me like you are just not comfortable with the idea of Obama being portrayed as anything less than the messiah. Seriously... this isn't concerning to you at all? It isn't like it's Glen Beck or some other hack we're talking about here. We're talking about one of the most respected journalists of all time and your first impulse is to brush it aside in a nothing-to-see-here manner??

Because it sounds more spectacular to change the title. Personnally I am surprized they didn't write "Two Large Black Men Confronted Woodward In The Public Restroom And Struck Him On His Head And Stomach".

It just kind of dresses up the article , that is all.

I doubt it was the janitor unless janitor is code like plumber was to Nixon. I imagine whatever was said directly or indirectly leads back to this WH cutting off access to reporters who do not report the way they want them to. That has been alluded to in the past that this WH is the worst so far at that. Regardless, I cannot recall any of the details but I am pretty sure Woodward has used this "threatened" card in the past when he came out with a new book.

The last three guidelines were broken in the OP.:roll:

really?..do you not see the link i provided......and the word....(threatened) in it?

those words came from the web site.

i see it as a feeble attempt to remove something you cannot explain away.
 
The WH is acting arrogant in their power. They know there are plenty of cronies on the Far Left who will defend them.

I know, I know. But the word is NOT in the body of the article or in the title of article.

I see you trying to justify the word simply because the software generated it.
 
Woodward has presented absolutely no evidence that this occurred.

But that won't stop far right wing zealots from eating this **** up.

He has the email, so simply release it and the author of it. I think the public would be curious too.

You will defend anything this corrupt WH does. ANYTHING. It's embarrassing.

The WH crossed the line this time. This is a major political mistake by the Obama Administration.

Well exactly... he does... so why not release it?

If he does I'll have something different to say.

Till he does it's bull****.
