white house reportedly threatens watergate reporter

YEAH, THE GUY I JUST WROTE ABOUT THE OTHER DAY - BOB WOODWARD
WHO DARED STRAY FROM THE PLANTATION TO CRITICISE THE PRESIDENT
"You will regret doing this" is the message Woodward reportedly received from a "senior White House official" after reiterating what he has been saying for months - that sequestration was OBAMA's idea, not the Republicans and his minions, and that his recent statements and actions amount to a kind of "madness".

Ouch, huh?
As I have previously posted, Obama is doing his level best to inflict as much pain on Americans as he can over these sequestration "cuts" as possible by ignoring actual wasteful spending throughout his administration and the bureaucracy and threatening to cut services to the most vulnerable people and/or to cut funding for our greatest needs - like security and the military.
The just heard the Obama administration has let loose 30,000 illegal aliens from prison - although he now claims that was Janet Napolitano's decision (remember when Clinton blamed Janet Reno for Waco? - said, as I recall, he'd only heard about it reading the newspaper?).
Obama would have us believe that a $3.6 TRILLION budget cannot withstand a 2.4% "cut" (which is actually still more than what was spent in 2012) and that Obamageddon will be at our door unless we keep borrowing and spending and forget about cutting anything (except the military which, no matter his posturing, is what he REALLY wants).
But Bob Woodard, a card-carrying liberal, has strayed away from the plantation and refuses to recite the Obama/Democrat talking points.
Even the left-wing Politico has had to admit what we have been saying all along:
The Woodward reporting has caused the White House spin machine to sputter at a crucial time. The president was running around the country, campaign-style, warning that Republicans were at fault for the massive cuts set to hit Friday. What Obama never says: it was his own staff that proposed sequestration, and the tax hikes he now proposes - aimed at replacing half of the cuts - were never part of that very specific plan. - Politico
And because of that Woodward found himself being screamed at for a half hour by a White House official and later being threatened with the "You will regret doing this!" threat.
So give Woodward who invariably leans to the liberal side actually telling the truth - apparently because he is putting country and the truth above ideology - rare in today's media environment.
Now lets be honest - the liberal media don't need very much encouragement to follow the Obama line because they WORSHIP this man and his ideology - but an iron fist makes sure that they will pause before ever asking a tough question or, God forbid, criticize or embarrass he president.
You will regret doing this.
Come on ... how much "opposition research" (dirt) would you imagine the Democrat Party has about Bob Woodward - or anyone they keep close to this administration ... or anyone from outside who might pose a threat of any kind.
We warned about these tactics 4 years ago ... and here we are.
