....seems to be old Bob Woodward's take on sequestration and the Obama administration. Now, I respect old Bob for his work on Watergate, but he's pretty much washed up and irrelevent and has been for years. No one buys his books, and he has one out, so is shilling it by overselling his beef with the White House. Still, this latest claim is really over-the-top:

ummm, Bob, did you actually read the e-mail? The guy apologized for a show of temper and then merely suggested you'd regret a rush to judgement which he felt was wrong. No threats, real or even implied. Only a paranoid, or a guy trying to whip up fervor to sell his latest book would see it otherwise.

(CNN) - Veteran journalist Bob Woodward says 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 Wednesday.
According to a Democrat aware of the situation, it was Gene Sperling, director of the National Economic Council, who sent the email Woodward cited.

Re: another right-wing talking point
History will probably record?
How Obama bullshitted his way in
and how he shitted himself out.
At the current rate...should be less than four years, hopefully.
When they start eating their own?
The time is coming.....sooner.
Especially, when ya look back over the last year or so and
count how many "folks" have fallen on their own swords for Obama.
And, How many got stabbed in the back by Barrack.
Interesting.......

Re: another right-wing talking point
Here's another to add to the "White House Hit List".
"Former Clinton aide Lanny Davis is second media member to step forward to say he was threatened by the Obama White House over his columns, joining famed Watergate journalist Bob Woodward."
and the "beat goes on"...drums keep pounding...

Re: another right-wing talking point
if 'you will regret making this assertion' is a threat, to a senior, long-established journalist, we've sunk to new lows of wimpiness.

Re: another right-wing talking point
Nope...it's a viable threat. Ask FOX.
It's just the way/weigh yer boy does business.

Like the last couple of weeks...If ya been paying attention.
