Journalist Bob Woodward blasts Obama “madness” in handling cuts

Journalist Bob Woodward on Wednesday criticized Barack Obama’s handling of the automatic U.S. budget cuts set to take effect this week, calling the president’s decision to hold back on military deployments “madness.”
His comments continued what has become a running dispute between Woodward, perhaps the country’s best-known print journalist, and the Democratic White House over who is responsible for the across-the-board cuts scheduled to begin on Friday.
Last week, Woodward published an opinion piece in the Washington Post – where he is an associate editor – saying the administration was “wrong” to blame the cuts on Republicans.
On Wednesday he attacked Obama for drawing national security into the budget debate.
“So we now have the president going out (saying) ‘Because of this piece of paper and this agreement, I can’t do what I need to do to protect the country.’ That’s a kind of madness that I haven’t seen in a long time,” Woodward told MSNBC on Wednesday.

Horrible Obama and his people. Woodward spoke his opinion and the truth.
This may get interesting. I sure hope it doesn’t blow over. It would be great if Woodward and the WH get into an extended pissing contest. It could only hurt obama.
