Bob Woodward says he was
threatened by White House

CNN, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:JoniTx, 2/27/2013 10:05:26 PM

Veteran journalist Bob Woodward said Wednesday he was threatened by a senior Obama administration official following his reporting on the White House´s handling of the forced federal spending cuts set to take effect on Friday. "They´re not happy at all," he said on CNN´s "The Situation Room," adding that an e-mail from a senior administration official - who he would not name - communicated a message which caused him great concern. "It was said very clearly, you will regret doing this," he said. Woodward penned a 2012 book reporting that the idea for the spending cuts,

I guess the Second Amendment is the only protection we have against this White House.

I wonder if the Nixon admin ever threatened Woodward or Bernstein, or anyone else in the media. Obama has threatened many journalists, namely those at Fox. The first amendment is really pesky for Obama. Almost as pesky as the second amendment. In this age of Obama, if you like the first amendment, you better love the second.

It stands to reason that if Woodward is threatened at the beginning of Obama´s fifth year, there have to have been many others in the prior four years. Obama & Company obviously feel that now they can get away with anything. Good for you Mr. Woodward. Now I´d like to see other journalists come forward, and when they do they should be welcomed, not chastised.

Letting criminals loose
Threatening journalists
Arming terrorists
Pumping money into our economy
Dumping cash into global warming
Extravagant vacations
Spying on Americans with drones
Benghazi
Obamacare
Kerry as Secretary of State
Hagel as Secretary of Defense
Snubbing Israel
Apologizing for America
Attacks on 2nd Amendment
Fort Hood attacks not terrorism
Fast and Furious
Stimulus spending
More debt than all other Presidents, combined

We do not have an Obama problem. He is the symptom. I am pretty much convinced that our nation is under judgement. In retrospect, 9/11 was an apocolyptic event. If ancient Israel is any example, our best days are not only behind us, our days may be over.

The arogance of the abomination administration is what will bring it down, and I suspect it will crumble.

It´s used separate phones, e-mail accounts, false names for those items, and I´m sure much more illicit means to hide from scrutiny and transparency.

Threatening a journalist of Woodward´s stature isn´t smart - he´s been there nearly 40 years and they´ll be gone in a couple.
I´m sure other journalists are ready to break-out and report the pulitzer prize winning stories to come out of this regime.(and remember, Hillary is lurking in the shadows)

Mr Woodward has integrity, while the Obama Administration cannot even spell the word. Just wonder if other journalists are going to let Mr Woodward get all the glory. Maybe they will finally stop kissing Obama´s butt and start reporting the truth about the current
Administration. There is enough information to keep them busy for years.

But we know where we are at when no one can stand in the public square and tell the truth without being threatened.

Since Woodward is a Democrat and Democrats can only advance their agenda by lying about it, one must wonder what is driving him to expose Obama like this. Has Woodward finally admitted to himself that after Watergate his old Democrat party was hijacked by the America-hating, enemy-loving socialist Left, with Obama now in the cockpit on a suicide mission? Has he suffered some personal slight from a White House demanding journalists do the exact opposite of what they did during Watergate, namely, cover-up for POTUS? Has he finally just succumbed to pangs of conscience, seeing every single one of his colleagues in the MSM behave like a mindless slave of Dear Leader?

Telling the truth is so foreign, so anathema, so verboten to any Democrat, journalist or otherwise, that one must search for underlying reasons in those rare occasions when it happens.

Obama is so pathologically dishonest and corrupt that he´s even threatening left-wing journalists for daring to tell the truth about him....

Poor, poor, set-upon little jug-eared jackass.

Schools and police stations were burning in Stockholm as violent riots continued for a fifth consecutive night. Emergency services were called to 70 separate incidents, including two torched primary schools, burning shops and a destroyed library building also housing a local police unit. Despite police claiming that the situation is beginning to calm down, critics say the riots were unavoidable after years of widening social gaps in a country which has the highest proportion of foreign-born citizens in Scandinavia.

The lawyer picked Thursday to succeed Patrick Fitzgerald as Chicago´s U.S. attorney is a former federal prosecutor best known for taking on corrupt politicians and powerful institutions such as the University of Notre Dame. Zachary Fardon would take over an office that has made its mark nationally by putting crooked government officials behind bars but increasingly faces pressure to do more to help in the fight against Chicago´s violent street gangs. "Zachary Fardon will be unwavering in his commitment to justice, and I am confident he will serve the people of Illinois with excellence," President Barack Obama said

The Democratic National Committee is accusing the GOP of "making up so-called ´scandals´ out of thin air." In an email to supporters, DNC Spokesman Brad Woodhouse writes that Republicans´ accusations of scandal aren´t legitimate — a claim that´s sure to draw howls from the right."Getting in President Obama´s way has been the top priority for Republicans in Congress since day one. But now they´ve gone too far. They´ve been caught red-handed making up so-called ´scandals´ out of thin air to stir up false rumors of vast ´cover-ups´ happening in the White House," Woodhouse writes.

Gracin’s handler quickly stepped in, nodding to the recording device in my hand and helpfully reminding him that he was on the record.

The Obama Administration fought to keep a search warrant for James Rosen’s private e-mail account secret, arguing to a federal judge that the government might need to monitor the account for a lengthy period of time. The new details are revealed in a court filing detailing a back and forth between the Justice Department and the federal judges who oversaw the request to search a Gmail account belonging to Rosen, a reporter for Fox News. A 2009 article Rosen had written about North Korea sparked an investigation; Ronald C. Machen, Jr., the U.S. Attorney who is prosecuting Stephen Jin-Woo Kim,

As Democrats and the media continue to hammer Virginia lieutenant governor hopeful E.W. Jackson for his past comments on social issues, the Christian minister says he is battling what he calls the “mainstream media’s caricature” of him. In an email sent to The Daily Caller this week, the running mate to Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli said “every one of those comments has a context and were spoken in my role as a minister, not as a candidate.” In particular, the black Republican took issue with the media’s outrage over his comments on abortion.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

President Obama on Thursday nominated Victoria Nuland, a State Department official involved in the editing of the administration´s talking points on Benghazi, to be the next assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Nuland, a career foreign service officer who was until recently State´s top spokesperson, had long been expected to be nominated the post to replace Philip Gordon, who Obama picked to serve as Middle East coordinator for the National Security Council. Nuland´s nomination -- which requires Senate confirmation -- could come under scrutiny from Republicans who see her as playing a central role in shaping

Conservative radio host Mark Levin is very skeptical of the idea that President Obama had absolutely no idea about the IRS tea party targeting before the story broke in the news mere weeks ago. Levin declared adamantly that it is a “flat-out, bald-faced lie” that Obama didn’t know beforehand, citing prior reports by a few conservative news outlets picking up on the news well before the 2012 presidential election. Levin said, “I don’t believe for two seconds that Obama wasn’t aware of this.”

Anthony Weiner’s New York mayoral candidacy was only made more improbable today after he revealed that he visited a Houston psychiatric facility following his resignation from Congress in 2011. Haunted by scandal surrounding his sexually explicit online communications with women, the Democratic former congressman sought treatment for his compulsive behavior from mental health professionals at the Gabbard Center. According to its website, the facility provides “3-day outpatient psychiatric evaluation,” particularly to “professionals who are in personal or professional crises.” While Weiner did not disclose
