FUNNY HOW TIMES CHANGE

It's really funny how times change.

Bob Woodward, a long-time Washington Post editor, slams Obama accusing him of madness over the sequestration mess.  Woodward and his former colleague in journalistic legerdemain, Carl Bernstein, a couple of left-over scabs from the 1970s, bases part of his criticism on Obama's dry-docking a navy ship set to sail to the troubled and dangerous mid-east.

Reason: lack of funds.

Navy ships is something Woodward should know a thing or two about, having fresh out of college been a crew member aboard a US spy ship and his long-time, clandestine snoozing around with Pentagon pals.

Woodward and Bernstein in case you forgot or are too young to remember blew the whistle on defrocked President Nixon and what became the original of all future gates, Watergate. He and his Warren Buffett cronies at the Washington Post despised tricky Dick. Now we have tricky Barrack.  As we said, it's funny how times change. We know Buffett's position. But for Woodward this is an out-of-character pose that should send your suspicion counter barking.

This is not to say Woodward's accusations are incorrect. You don't have to be or have friends in high places to clearly discern the Obama crowd's drift. It's a leftward wind that wreaks with the odor of "useful idiots."  But Woodward strikes of a man devoid of loyalties, something psychoanalysts define as a characteristic of acutely dangerous people

This could be an example of the old it takes one to know one. Now you should realize Helicopter Ben is not alone. He's got company.
