BOB WOODWARD: A 'Very Senior' White House Person Warned Me I'd 'Regret' What I'm Doing

Bob Woodward said this evening on CNN that a "very senior person" at the White House warned him that he would "regret doing this," the same day he has continued to slam President Barack Obama over the looming forced cuts known as the sequester.

CNN host Wolf Blitzer said that the network invited a White House official to debate Woodward on-air, but the White House declined.

"I think they're confused," Woodward said of the White House's pushback on his reporting.

Earlier today on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Woodward ripped into Obama in what has become an ongoing feud between the veteran Washington Post journalist and the White House. Woodward said Obama was showing a "kind of madness I haven't seen in a long time" for a decision not to deploy an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf because of budget concerns.

No Bob, I doubt that they are "confused."

Obama will not deploy an aircraft carrier, but he will release criminals into the citizen population.

The White House is not confused. The White House is on message.

The message is, "Screw the people. We are the president."

I agree with Mark, my bet is the "very senior WH person" is VJ.

Bob Woodward is speaking as though Obama himself might not be aware of the threat and will probably "fix it?"

I think so, too.

Woodward has a reputation. I don't believe the White House fears him. But, I do believe that if the White House wanted to intimidate him they would send out the highest ranking person. They wanted him to snap to attention. Only time will tell if that has worked or not.

The only person Obama is closer to is his wife.

Yo! Bob!

They expected Walter Duranty, not Jimmy Durante.

This is cool. The Leftists hero Woodward, who brought down a sitting GOP President is going to be destroyed by them now. I enjoy when they eat their own.
