so there's been a lot of drama surrounding how bob woodward is
irrational white house recently now bob woodward is obsessed with the grand
bargain and wants present no bomb a duet in he's been brady him for not doing it
tour is booked through his articles
and uh... he's got a way with it to the point where he is
side to make things up
now he says all wait a minute now the sequester had no revenues ended so
present obon was moving too cold post let me ask for a new revenue in fact he
wrote recently so when the president has had a substitute for the sequester
include not to spending cuts
but also a new revenue
he's moving the goal posts
but that was not deal he made
brian beutler among others at the p m has made it a very good point
to know the poll pointless quest or was that it was supposed to be so bad
the uruguay some of the package
but what your places with was actually clearing the in the book budget act it
said
the keywords word deficit-reduction
not spending cuts
so in which case
not could include tax revenue everybody was clear on that in fact
is explain later the built you can provide the houses and restrictions
freebasing is super committee bill
it included it
revenue
so there's no question the bob woodward is wrong
that the replacement of the sequester ten am revenue in it
but bob woodward
here's the and big mystery of him resolved
is a republican
i know it blows everybody's minds because the media's level the media's
level and bob woodward is the media so he must be level here anyway mural too
liberal
look to sequester as defense cuts it
it's actually not that bad howard dean thinks evisa questioner
is a deal that is painful as i do
but that we should take his at least half the cuts come from defense
which isn't i would love it
because if you have a new deal
it's not like there will be cuts in the new deal they'll be more cuts and it'll
come for medicaid medicare social security
given that alternative the progressive position is a sequester
is not that bad
but bob woodward is in a progressive
he's a washington establishment
used to take down the government now is jet main job
is to protect the government in this tablets
so he thinks tax cuts in social security i don't give a damn about my so skinny i
think in red
cut from medicare card for medical cut from the facts
so he's been trying to pressure obama to do the grand bargain
and get their problem is more and more
the entire time
once you solve that mystery ghari compound now everything makes sense
as the bob woodward's motivations
so now we get to the second part of a controversy where woodward says in the
midst of my conversations about this reporter i was gonna do
the white house
threatened
all wow
he says that that use for liam organize in the median sandwiches for lee
we found out through later reporting that was used for lee of the white house
is a senior white house officials incentive this e-mail quote by apologize
for lee said because apparently he had yelled at him during a phone call
hypothesis for raising my voice our conversation today my bat
i do understand your problems with the whole bar status in the fall
but the on the other hand that you focus on a few specific trees that gives a
very wrong perception
of the poorest
but perhaps we will just not see eye-to-eye here
okay so wait a minute now this is a scene that skating so far up with
the white house officials doings apologizing
uh... would work
so it's a big deal well here comes the devastating parked in the next for the
but i do truly believe that you should rethink their comment about saying
that participate asi for revenues
is moving the goal post
i know you may not believe this but as a friend i think your regrets taking up
that claim
all my god
he said you're gonna read read it
you know what's interesting about that
when woodward firstgiving every two political about this
the part of that email but he took out
was
friend
i what kind of a journalist removes that part of that sentence
so it's in the worst branding when union kleubeck
but the whole thing doesn't seem threatening at all so far does it well
is getting dead a lot better nis acted
but first let's show you
bob woodward speak outrage over this issue
here is on c_n_n_
and it was said said to me an email by a top what was his losses yeah it was it
was uh... said very clearly you will regret
doing who served every bit as well and nothing to say cameras and so you never
survive very senior person
justice and may i mean it makes me very uncomfortable they have the white house
telling reporters pot you're going to regret
doing something that you believed in
i think i think it brocco bomber
knew that was part of the communications uh... strategy let's hope it's not a
strategy that that it's in the something tactic that somebody's important say
look
we don't go around
trying to
to reporters the few
in an honest way present something we don't like
that you know you've been in regret this thing
baum and instead since arriving in fact
uh... what we went on the same politico act and lots of these people bus opposes
a young reporter
whose only had a couple of years or ten years
experience to the white house is sending the email say you're gonna regret this
you know trumbull trumbull i don't think it's the way to operate
as i read you the first parts of the email seem like it was a helluva lot
friendlier than that
and he seemed to be saying hey
you might regret this 'cause you'll be embarrassed
because it turns out it's not true now we are to showed you
he was already impressed
this is reporting was not true on what was going to replace the scores
according to the act itself
but is about to get a lot more embarrassing
islamic finish the emails
gene sperling also wrote to
woodward at the end
out to argue and argue this latter point
just my sincere advice your claudius lee
my apologies again for raising my voice on the called with you
feel bad about that
and truly apologize
nata zero three bed to get all that is it
include about seven hundred apologies in there
and uh...
you think well okay you've got bob woodward
alive none of the best part
then
bob woodward wrote back to gene sperling and said this quote
you do not ever have to apologize to me gene
you get one duck because you're making your points and you believe them
this is all part of a serious discussion
i for one welcome a little heat they should be more given the importance of
the matter is what he's saying
also welcomed your personal id box
uh... s
what happened bob i thought you were threatened then they're going to say
they're saying you're going to regret this and you are intimidated by want
strong policies dab
presided over by the name of the pharmacy go what about the and except
it's their lives
doesn't exactly sell threat
now the conservatively
enchant on this like crazy paris barbara olsat
by the way they had
connective tissue was the bob woodward's motivations everything's would not nixon
nixon was a republican
that was generations ago
decades ago
that was a lot of time ago
and since then what is he got me stroke written
how many glowing books about george w_ bush
well that was on popular bubblegum presence of all time
help while dennis the hassle bomber
gee i wonder what
what what is the very
it's the explanations and credibly sample
preserver media loves this now know that one resident let me see these females
and they like
so
here comes eric erickson
when how these you know all the emails quote ok wow
finally read email the woodward
i must now move to the another threat camp
use
not loose from the daily caller
looks like we were played
and even tucker carlson
jumping off the bandwagon
and said uh... woodward scuba or no
or we now have emails as you know
uh... andy it looks to me like woodward height to that point
it's a little bit to be honest about it hard to claim your friends when you're
writing an email saying you know you never need to apologize to me you know
i'll see you at lunch biet solo might sorta hard would work to have it both
ways even know he allegedly caught the ball i mean if that does not undo that
fact
indicate that this is not the posture of a guy who spends in peril to me
three can't help but for a little iron their heating testimony relied off
the bottom line once
gene sperling was a hundred percent right
he said look as a friend
i'm trial look out for you you might regret this 'cause you'll wind up
getting embarrass
that's exactly what happened
bahut one word one deb
the deeply embarrassed by this
well played bob
