Yep. Obama says he wants to listen. Well if he wants to be President of all the American people and not just those who voted for him, a good sign will be his willingness to work together with folks like Tom Coburn. We won't agree on everything. He may not be my President but its our duty to help him do things that are right for our country and to oppose him if they are things that would injure it. I don't mean giving up our principles and agreeing with what the Democrats intend to do to our country but offering constructive advice and solutions. So if he is going to be true to his word, we'll get things done for the American people. If not, its going to be a long, acrimonious and hard four years.

I found it interesting in the debates Coburn was brought up by both McCain and Obama as someone they could work with towards smaller government. Obama actually has worked with Coburn before. Naturally because it is Obama it wasn’t landmark legislation, but at least it has shown a willingness to work with conservatives on some things. Government transparency is something we should all be behind.

Goldstategop, you offer about the same perspective as I do.
Colonel, please consider this post, too.
