Woodward, Democrats turn on Obama


Bob Woodward, who did a series of hit books on the Bush administration and the war in Iraq, has turned his aim toward the Obama administration- and the results ain't pretty.

Woodward's portrait of a dysfunctional Obama presidency includes accounts of "Professor" Obama giving his aides homework assignments, and admitting that he only set a deadline for withdrawal from Afghanistan because he couldn't afford to lose the support of his fellow Democrats.
Woodward portrays the administration as deeply divided over Mr. Obama's Afghanistan policy.

Meanwhile, Woodward is not the only person to paint the Obama administration as "the gang that couldn't shoot straight," to borrow a phrase from the late Jimmy Breslin. Even Democrats are beginning more and more to compare the current president to Jimmy Carter- including both Carter himself and Carter's vice-president, Walter Mondale.
