Bob Woodward blasts President Obama

The Washington Post’s Bob Woodward attacked President Barack Obama on Wednesday, saying the commander-in-chief’s decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier because of budget cuts is “a kind of madness.”

“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 Wednesday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“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,’ as he did when Clinton was president because of some budget document?” Woodward added. “Under the Constitution, the president is commander-in-chief and employs the force. And so we now have the president going out because of this piece of paper and this agreement. ‘I can’t do what I need to do to protect the country.’ That’s a kind of madness that I haven’t seen in a long time.”

By "kind of madness" Woodward appears to be referring to Nixonian madness.

If Obama was caught eating dead babies and having sex with corpses, you'd either defend it or blame it the GOP

Nah... He doesn't have to do anything at all and you'll still blame him for all that anyways. I'm just enjoying all this fake drama.
 
so to make it true... All you have to do is believe. Lol

well you did not state, you did not (just) didn't believe in it......you stated it was debunked..as though it was found to be false.

Your entitled to not believe the story....but proclaiming it a lie for everyone ..no.

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.

Obama lied about the sequestion. His WH threatened a reporter who dared actually report the truth about it, instead of falling in goosestep behind their political narrative/agenda

Everyone knows you will never hold Obama accountable for anything.

Pretend, if only for sake of argument, that the story is false. Who would be able to deny Woodward's story?

Save your nonsense for someone who cares

We're a better country than this. You want to defend a thug? Go for it.

question for you, when Woodward had the run of the WH, a few years back from obama, while he was writing a book about obama, and called, .....OBAMA A NARCISSIST.

do you believe it was a lie too?
 
question for you,

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.

Woodward blasted Obama for Obama's sequester lie

The Obama Administration is basically claiming reality isn't reality. The sequester was Obama's idea. If you believe otherwise than you're simply beyond help.

Woodward also destroys what the MSM narrative was yesterday. That it didn't matter who's idea the sequester was. Woodward endangered that narrative. Obama has a long history of lying, smearing, and acting like a thug. Woodward has a history of being one the most respected journalists ever. Anyone who supports the Obama Administration at this point shouldn't be taken seriously.

I never said he's lying now. You are just simply making things up as you go aren't you? lol

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.
 
Okay, let's try this another way: I'm a reporter, and I write on my news blog that based on an unnamed information, Bronson stole the cookie from the cookie jar at 5pm. Now, the informant isn't the story, Bronson is. Now Bronson can say, "I didn't steal the cookie, because I was in a bar with my friends after work." Point is, there is somebody who can stand up, independent of me (the reporter) to deny the veracity of the story. And so, in this thread, who can stand up and say, "I deny the veracity of Woodward's story because ______."

Did that make more sense?
