Bob Woodward Attacks President Obama For Getting It Right | The National Memo

Bob Woodward Attacks President Obama For Getting It Right | The National Memo: 

Here’s a president who made all the right calls, even though his decisions were often “opposed by his political advisors” or were “unpopular with his fellow Democrats.” Here’s a president who was hesitant to rubber-stamp his military leadership’s decisions. Here’s a president responsible for “one of the most courageous decisions I had ever witnessed in the White House.”

The Washington Post‘s Bob Woodward read about a president who did these things and decided that former Defense Secretary Robert Gates’ new memoir of serving in both the Bush and Obama adminstrations, Duty: Memoirs of a Secretary at War, is a “harsh critique of Obama’s leadership.”

I missed the point at which Woodward became a joke. It just became obvious to me during the Shrub administration when he descended into hagiography. Maybe, like Ron Silver and others, 9/11 drove him insane.
