Bob Woodward Working on Book About Obama Administration

Bob WoodwardThe New Republic reports that Bob Woodward is working on a book about the Obama administration. The book is still in the preliminary stages.
Since the inauguration, the Washington Post legend has been quietly reporting a new book on the Obama White House. "I'm in the preliminary stages of working on it," Woodward confirmed to me by phone recently. "I'm working on it and making progress."

Officially, the White House says it is not adopting a press strategy to respond to Woodward. Ben LaBolt, an Obama spokesman, wrote in an e-mail that the Craig memo "was not issued in relation to any inquiry related to a specific reporter or author." Still, there is reason to think that Woodward might make the administration particularly anxious. "Every White House is wary of Woodward, " says New York Times White House correspondent Peter Baker, who worked alongside him at the Post. What's more, Obama's White House is known to hate process stories, exactly the sort of exhaustive, in-the-room descriptions of high-level debates at which Woodward excels
Woodward won't have any problem find a publisher for the book. He should be able to get plenty of White House access even if he makes the Obama administration nervous. Bob Woodward wrote several books about the Bush White House including Bush at War, Plan of Attack, The War Within and State of Denial.
