Obama-Graham partnership emerges in climate debate (McLame's lap dog says Obama "reasonable")

WASHINGTON, March 10 (Reuters) - It's rare when a conservative Republican in Congress heaps praise on President Barack Obama, especially in regards to fighting global warming, but Senator Lindsey Graham did just that on Wednesday.

The South Carolina lawmaker has, despite opposition from many in his party, worked with Obama and Democrats on a comprehensive energy and environmental bill, winning their support of more government aid for nuclear power and expanded oil and gas drilling.

Nuclear power and domestic oil production are at the core of Republican platforms.

"The president has been great to work with on energy and climate," Graham, a two-term senator, told reporters.

"I want to say this about the administration. They've been very reasonable on offshore drilling and nuclear power and they've been very reasonable at looking at a different way to price carbon."

Hey South Carolina,

You keep voting this guy into office why?

Please spare us this RINO when he comes up in 5 years!

I don't think so.

But hey, at least we can tear down McCain this year. That should put a rather large dent in Graham's treachery.

Unfortunately, no. South Carolina does not have a recall law.

Sorry, I don’t know. With SC being a conservative state, I’d guess if such a law was possible we’d have it.

At least SC gave us DeMint. He has fought Obama and his crony communists tooth & nail since day one.

I bet Lindsey will have the same glowing appreciation of the Obama administration about amnesty too!

Lindsey, like his mentor McCain, must be getting elected by democrats in SC.
