Bob Woodward Welcome to the Chicago Way

Well I guess even legendary journalists aren't immune to the proverbial bat to the head.

Now, Woodward alleges that he was bullied even ahead of publishing his report. He told Politico Wednesday that one Obama aide "yelled at me for about a half hour" and in an email message delivered a veiled threat.

"It was said very clearly: 'you will regret doing this,'" Woodward told CNN. "I'm not going to say [who], a very senior person. It makes me very uncomfortable to have the White House telling reporters you're going to regret doing something you believe in."

What is funny though is that the sequester was all Obama's idea to get lawmakers to actually get to work on some cuts. Now all the Dems want to do is soak the rich even further through closing loopholes or other nonsense and using scare tactics to do it.

I mean if you listen to the White House there will be chaos in the streets come March 1st. In any case this is how the White House does business. Threaten journalists that don't toe the party line and then rush around covering their asses when it comes out. I'm sure if Woodward keeps talking they will eventually drone strike his house.
