THOSE OF YOU OVER, SAY, 55 will remember watergate, and the resignation (dismissal) of mister nixon. Those of you too young to remember it have read about it, and are lucky to not remember it.
Remember the two young reporters, woodward and bernstein, who busted the president. they were portrayed by dustin hoffman and robert redford in the great movie "all the president's men".
woodward is still working for the washington post after all these years, and has now run afoul of the obama administration, or someone high up in it. The president himself is apparently not involved.
woodward, like many other reporters, claims that this crazy sequester idea, which was originally well intended but is now fixing to bite us all in the butt, was obama's idea. Obama, of course, is inthe midst of a savage effort to pin the blame on the republicans.
bob woodward has a few unflattering things to say about obama, such as, his white house is the most cult like crazy place since nixon's white house. woodward also agrees with the republicans that obama seems to be avoiding a compromise by constantly changing his terms for agreement. Not very flattering stuff.
One of obama's assistants evidently told woodward that he would regret having written such unture things. Woodward says he felt threatened. This greatly pleases the republicans, who seize upon the opportunity to portray obama as an al capone style gangster, who orders revenge hits.
Obama would probably be best advised to call woodward, straighten this out, and then get right back to the business of blaming republicans, and accusing them of being champions of the wealthy, to the detriment of everyone else.
Besides that, woodward will probably never regret what he said about obama, just like he never regretted what he said about nixon.
