Bob Woodward Calls BS on Obama's Sequester Claims
"What the president said is not correct," says the veteran journalist
Bob Woodward says President Barack Obama got some of his facts wrong on sequester at Monday night's debate.
Woodward's book, "The Price of Politics," has been the go-to fact check source for the president's answer, in which he claimed the idea of using deep, automatic, across-the-board domestic and defense spending cuts to force Congress to address the nation's burgeoning federal deficit originated from Congress, not from the White House.
"What the president said is not correct," Woodward told POLITICO Tuesday. "He's mistaken. And it's refuted by the people who work for him."
