"Oh wow. Finally read the email to Woodward. I must now move to the "not a threat camp." ~ Erick Erickson

Erickson is one of the people on the right who occasionally touches base with reality.

My guess is that Bob Woodward will not be having any regrets.

Edith Piaf didn't have any.

BTW, I love this song.

He did say that the WH told him that he, "would regret" doing the story.

That's a threat. Sorry if the English language isn't working for you on this one.

If someone tells you that you will regret not changing the oil in your car, is that a threat?

Obviously, there's a difference. Surely you're smarter than that.

The e-mail stated that he would regret writing the story because the story was not accurate and Woodward would look foolish.

Mission accomplished.

one problem, nobody with any integrity actually disagrees with his story on how the debt debate all unfolded.

Not only throwing the term regret around but also making the journalists feel 'threatened'. Davie and Fournier both use that term also. So unless they are all the same thinned skinned type of people who fell threatened at the drop of the hat or they are colluding there seems to be at least enough to look a little deeper into it.

I think Obama cares very deeply, about his image. I agree he does seem to not care about governing or leading.

Since when do conservatives care about "feelings"? Oh, that's right. it's a chance to take jabs at the "One".


Obama is going to look good no matter what. You know why? Because this sequester thing will be hung around the neck of the Tea Nuts. Pretty much obvious, IMO.

Conservatives? Are you talking about Woodward, Davis and Fournier?

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

Obama believes he's a dictator, so do progressives in general.

Last week my idiot aunt told me "Obama can do whatever he wants because hes president."

Grrrrrrrr.

After listening to and reading what Woodward himself said and wrote, a moronic, ignorant fool would perceive a threat.

Where does it say that?

Who cares about what he "feels". We are dealing in facts not feelings.

So the alleged tolerant speaks.

Progressives deal with feelings and not facts all the time - it's their hobby.

Mission Accomplished?

That's what that big banner said on the aircraft carrier a while back, about 8 years before the USA got out of Iraq.

Anytime I hear "Mission Accomplished", that the 1st thing that I think of. It's seared in my brain.

Oh, so it doesn't say that in any of the emails, nor does it say anything about Woodward looking foolish?

I love how some are infatuated with Bush but give Obama a free pass.

I love the partisan armchair politician to boot. The insignificant BS is amusing.

So we can count you as one who believes he felt threatened?

I'm not an idiot... I understand implications.

Mean what you say and say what you mean. Don't try to dress us in vagueness.

No. I'm talking about the people who are jumping on this as if Obama threatened to put a cap in the ass of Woodward, Davis and Fournier.

If you want to change this thread from Bob Woodward's daydreams to a discussion of former Pretzyldent Bush, get after it.

But don't look for any help from me.
