So this is not going well at all.

WASHINGTON -- Bob Woodward isn't the only person who's received threats for airing the Obama administration's dirty laundry.  It seems anyone is a potential target of the White House these days - even former senior members of the Clinton administration.

A day after Woodward's claim that a senior White House official had told him he would "regret" writing a column criticizing President Obama's stance on the sequester, Lanny Davis, a longtime close advisor to President Bill Clinton, told WMAL's Mornings on the Mall Thursday he had received similar threats for newspaper columns he had written about Obama in the Washington Times.

Davis told WMAL that his editor, John Solomon, "received a phone call from a senior Obama White House official who didn't like some of my columns, even though I'm a supporter of Obama. I couldn't imagine why this call was made."  Davis says the Obama aide told Solomon, "that if he continued to run my columns, he would lose, or his reporters would lose their White House credentials." http://www.wmal.com/common/page.php?pt=WMAL+EXCLUSIVE%3A+Woodward%27s+Not+Alone+-+Fmr.+Clinton+Aide+Davis+Says+He+Received+White+House+Threat&id=8924&is_corp=0

Woodward was told to be objective. He was asked to insure that both sides to this situation be portrayed truthfully and he bent over to add that the GOP also was to blame for the current budget crisis. Woodward is upset that he's been put on the list of "me first" journalists by the WH. Where's Carl?

Lanny Davis? He's been outed for some time and is a whinner. Who cares?

Somebody got humiliated big time and now his feelings are hurt, ha! So he's crying to a propaganda network that could care less about reality and facts.


Amazing. Having a black guy in the White House has caused people to lose their freaking minds. Never thought I would see the day that any reputable journalist would appear on Hannity, the racist's show. Woodward is holding onto straws as he descends into the hell of obscurity and irrelevance. Leave the WP now and sign on as a Fox shill. He will fit right in.
