WASHINGTON (AP) — A confidant of the man Barack Obama defeated in November said Wednesday that the president-elect has earned enormous global good will and "a moment in time" to re-engage other nations with the United States.
The assessment by Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., was noteworthy because he is a conservative Republican and one of Sen. John McCain's closest friends. Graham campaigned vigorously against Obama in last year's presidential race.
Noting himself that he had been "one of the chief opponents" of Obama, Graham pronounced himself now "very pleased" with the president-elect's attitude and policies toward the countries they visited.
Graham appeared Wednesday with Vice President-elect Joe Biden at Obama's transition headquarters. Biden and Graham were there to brief Obama on what they learned during a just-completed five-day, bipartisan fact-finding mission to Kuwait, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq.

“he is a conservative Republican” in as much as John McCain was the blcak candidate in the 2008 election
black
BWHAHAHAHA!
Up is down, Down is Up! McCain lost because he was too conservative! Palin was a drag on the ticket! Yada yada yada
I guess the GOP’s version of John Edwards missed that state sponsored rally in Tehran a few days back, where they chanted ‘Death to Obama’ and then burned the President Elect in effigy, huh?
I used to tolerate Moderate Republicans, as you do a child with severe mental disabilities.
Now I realize they are comprised of gutless backstabbers who are more interested in navel gazing than anything else.
Lindsey Graham gives me the creeps! Is he a mo?
Linsey Graham is a conservative?
Monkeys are NOT flying out of my butt right now, so I find this VERY hard to believe.
Fixed it.
We need to organize email blasts to morons such as Graham. Take his friggin’ email server down.
Leave it to the AP to label this RINO weasel a “conservative” republican. I doubt there will be enough Pepto Bismol available in the Commonwealth of Kentucky to get me through the gut-churning butt kissing our staunch, stalwart, steel-spined republican officials will display during Tuesdays festivities. Think I’ll wind up watching a 24 hour DVD of Looney Toons.
those bones you hear rattlin are coming from Gramnisty’s closet.
Can you imagine what is in Graham’s FBI files.
Lindsay, you’re a pussy.
Sig Sauer P226 here ... great gun
Graham is conservative? That’s news to conservatives.
The MSM is in overdrive to redefine conservatism. Obummer is working overtime to get his propaganda machine in full gear.
First we get the little “dinner party” (read “marching order briefing”) thrown by that arch conservative, George Will... where all the invited newsprint sock-puppets participated in political circle jerk, with the “messiah” leading the beat.
Now we get Prissy Graham drooling over her prospects to sleep with the One.
Soon we’ll have the Beltway Bozos convulsing in the throws of intellectual “Obasims,” and penning how we “far-right” conservative “extremists” must tow the RINO party line.
Hey, Lindsey, Will & Co. Here’s a newsflash for you dingle berries: F**k Off!
Yeah, it was a fantastic idea to reelect this too, South Carolina.
It’s time for him to go.
These idiots will not stop until the GOP has been completely leveled.
Don’t blame me I voted for the other guy.
Quick question for South Carolina residents..
Why in the name of God do you people keep electing this twit?
Some of us live in the People’s Republics, but I thought SC folk had a good handle on conservative thinking?
