Bob Woodward blasts President Obama ‘madness’

i don't disagree with you it is only a cut in the rate of spending, ..government will still grow bigger, it always does.

and the sky is falling idea, as been used many times.

but my post was the story a lie or truth from woodward, its up to the reader......

If Obama is already lying about the sequester, I'll go ahead and give Woodward the benefit of the doubt on this one

After all it was the left that said Woodward is the truth teller of Presidents when he criticizing the Bush Administration and the Nixon Administration. Woodward has credibility. Obama does not.
 
The only reason to believe Woodward is his reputation.
The only reason to believe Obama and his aides is their reputation.

Woodward seems believable for this reason, the WH doesnt seem believable for the same reason.
 
It was debunked when the hyperbolistic title of this thread fell to pieces being that woodward himself never said he was "threatened." Just another fail of a headline.

Maybe I misread the article, but doesn't it imply or even state, that Woodward took the "regret" comment as a veiled threat?
 
how do you know it is false......its impossible for anyone to know except Woodward, unless he has confined in someone ....shown them the email.

woodward, was been in the WH many times under obama, and given total excess, everywhere, and to many things.

That's kind of the point. All that access and he can't seem to say who threatened him?
 
No, hold on, I'm serious. Who is there to deny the story if (IF ONLY FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT) the story is false? Think about it.

Shouldn't you start a new thread for this new anti-Obama conspiracy theory?
 
That's kind of the point. All that access and he can't seem to say who threatened him?

Really? A journalist/reporter using the term "a senior White House source" is going out on a limb and doing something unprecidented? I'm sure if Woodward had said a "senior White House source" told him that staff noticed a halo above the President's head, you'd be casting it in stone as undeniably true.
 
Sending an aircraft carrier to the far ends of the earth is now "protecting the country"?

I think the point he was trying to make was that the president is being ineffectual and weak, and possibly for political affect
 
No doubt your opinion is identical on entitlements, being the centrist that you are.

You do know that your buddy W is the one responsible for jacking up the bill on "entitlements". Right?
Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act[1] (also called the Medicare Modernization Act or MMA) is a federal law of the United States, enacted in 2003.[2] It produced the largest overhaul of Medicare in the public health program's 38-year history.
The MMA was signed by President George W. Bush on December 8, 2003, after passing in Congress by a close margin.
That was a RW president and a RW congress which gave us that doozie.

I'd love to see us cut "entitlements". But, we wouldn't have to if your favorite party hadn't spent our money like drunken sailors..

So you support cutting entitlements, just want to make sure. And btw, Obama is now in for an additonal $6T in debt, so don't go blaming the Right for everything.

If I'm not mistaken, the Medicare Prescription Drug plan was a bipartisan initiative between Bush and supported by many Democrats in congress. Something your precious Obama is incapable of doing. Most conservatives readily admit that Bush allowed spending to rise higher than they would prefer, mostly because President Bush had a history of working with members of the opposition, both in Texas and in Washington, and often compromise costs more money. Why is it that liberals are incapable of admitting, even in a minor way, Obama's failures? You paint yourselves as idiotic ideologues with your "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" approach to evaluating the messiah.

I've repeatedly stated Obama is no Bill Clinton when it comes to leadership skills. That's obvious. What is not true is the bs that he is some kind of tax & spend Marxist Kenyan anti-colonialist who is soft on terrorism. In fact, Obama's management of the war on terror has been quite ballsy. His use of drones is totally un-liberal-like.

Debt accumulated under Bush. Cutting taxes while waging war on the company credit card will do that.

God, or perhaps your therapist, only knows what the hell this little diatribe has to do with the comments I posted.
