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.”

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — They bound his hands to the rear of a van, and then sped off, dragging the slender taxi driver along the pavement as a crowd of onlookers shouted in dismay. The man was later found dead.

A gut-wrenching video of the scene is all the more disturbing because the men who abused the Mozambican immigrant were uniformed South African police officers and the van was a marked police vehicle.

Woodward called out Obama for lying and making threats. Instead of doing the honorable thing and resigning, Obama is digging in and covering up. Just like Nixon.

“the basic physics of climate change is irrefutable”.

Ed Davey, Secretary of State for Energy & Climate Change

If the physics are so simple, why are temperatures below Hansen’s zero emissions Scenario C?

Less than half of the population are now falling victim to the lies of James Hansen and Al Gore.

Public concern about environmental issues including climate change has slumped to a 20-year low since the financial crisis, a global study reveals.  Fewer people now consider issues such as CO2 emissions, air and water pollution, animal species loss, and water shortages to be “very serious” than at any time in the last two decades, according to the poll of 22,812 people in 22 countries including Britain and the US.

Despite years of studies showing the impact of global warming on the planet, only 49 per cent of people now consider climate change a very serious issue

Meanwhile, the White House is backing off its prior warnings that the sequester will strike a quick and devastating blow to the economy.

Now Obama can claim that he never lied about sequester, because he kind of told the truth one time out of a hundred.

Clearly, Democrats think that a magazine with more than 10 rounds, containing bullets that can do serious damage, qualifies as “dangerous and unusual.”

All weapons are dangerous, as are hammers, baseball bats, ladders, kitchen knives and cars. This should be obvious to everyone with an IQ over 30, and perhaps even a few Democrats.
