David Boren is close to the Bush Family and thought Clinton should resign from President the first night. He is a Democrat but in the last election endorsed our two GOP Reps and one GOP State Senator for the OK legislature.
That said, his son ran and won a Congressional seat in the heavily democrat district in NE Oklahoma. If you look at the donations to Dan Boren you will see large contributions from the OU falculty and staff -- lot of arm twisting went on about that.
I would assume he is not close to the Clintons since neither one of them has been invited to OU or he is the politician that knows Oklahomans cannot stand the Clintons or liberals. Right now I am leaning toward the latter.
He was head of Senate Intelligence, was an advisor to Clinton and now Bush since he has been OU President for ten years. He recommended Tenent who was his protege to Clinton to head CIA and got Bush #43 to keep him on at CIA which was a bad move in hindsight.
I have speculated that his ties to Tenent make him not want to admit that we do have active terrorists not only in the Country but right here in OK and this might just lead to reopening of the OKC Bombing which I believe is Al Qaeda related now. For some reason some people want the truth on the OKC buried just like this. I would love to know why!
