Journalist Bob Woodward, famous for exposing the Watergate Scandal, was the keynote speaker at the 2014 Wyoming Forum in Cheyenne yesterday.
He talked about the work he did with Carl Bernstein at the Washington Post that contributed to President Nixon’s resignation. He also discussed the presidency of Obama, who he characterized as failing to connect with Congress or convey strength abroad, despite his admirable goals.
Woodward says he’s concerned about growing polarization in American society.
“The politicians need to show willingness to compromise and listen. There isn’t enough listening. In my business or in the political business,” he says.
Woodward’s most recent book, The Price of Politics, was published in 2012.
