The Price of Politics
« on: September 08, 2012, 10:11:29 pm »
Has anybody else been reading the excerpts from Woodward's book?  They are absolutely devastating.  I do not see how O can survive politically following publication, unless the country has completely lost its mind.

Yes, I've read some of the comments.  It's coming out next week?  We've got to hope it'll get read by enough folks.  It -- of course -- will be totally ignored by mainstream media no matter what it contains.

The Washington Post has been running devastating excerpts.

Do you think so?  Bob Woodward usually isn't described that way but, WTF, enlighten me!

Perhaps donni is distressed by the harsh judgment that Mr. Woodward renders on O:

The book reviews in the NYT and the Chicago Tribune are largely unfavorable.  I wonder why?   >:D

If Woodward concludes that the Sequester is all Obama's fault without mentioning how much fault of that is Ryan's (and everybody else who proposed and then agreed to it), then Woodward is a Nixon-era god that has fallen. Woodward has achieved journalism god status that isn't warranted.

Because the book is biased, if what's been posted here is any indication.
