Newspaper editor and book author Bob Woodward said on Wednesday that a senior White House official threatened him for suggesting the President was at fault for the sequestration crisis.

Woodward said a "very senior" White House official warned him in an email that he would ³regret doing this² ‹ referring to the legendary journalist's criticisms of the Obama administration over its actions regarding the upcoming sequester.

³It was said very clearly, ŒYou will regret doing this,¹² Woodward told CNN¹s Wolf Blitzer Wednesday night, who then asked him who sent the email. ³I¹m not going to say. It was a very senior person.

³It makes me very uncomfortable to have the White House telling reporters that you are going to regret doing something that you believe in ‹ and even if you don¹t look at it that way [as a threat], you do look at it,² he said.

Woodward, an associate editor for The Washington Post, began stirring controversy last Friday when he lambasted Obama in an op-ed piece for not taking responsibility for the sequester itself.
In his article, Woodward claimed that the White House, not Republicans, first proposed the sequester.

And earlier on Wednesday, Woodward slammed as ³madness² Obama¹s decision to not deploy the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf earlier this month ‹ also because of the impending cuts.
