Shortly after Obama's speech, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters that he is prepared to go out on a limb for the president to support his plan for investing billions of dollars to spur democracy in the Middle East and North Africa.
“I am willing to take the bruises and stand by Obama to engage countries like Egypt and Tunisia and stay involved in Libya and finish the job in Iraq,” Graham said. “I am willing to take American dollars at a time when we’re flat broke, go back home and suffer the consequences of sending aid to Egypt at a time when South Carolina has 10 percent unemployment because I believe the Egyptian revolution is about a new way of doing business that’s better for us.”
Graham, who has traveled extensively in the Middle East, said he thought Obama made two mistakes in his speech, however. The first was talking about Israeli settlements, and the second was focusing on border issues without addressing the overall complexity of Israel-Palestine negotiations.
“Our friends in Israel are very upset that he only focused on borders,” said the South Carolina Republican. “There are many other aspects of this deal that are being overshadowed.”
But overall, he added, Obama "did a really good job."
I pray they clog up Graham’s telephone lines tomorrow.
“What a worthless waste of oxygen who brings
shame, criminals, and now curse, to a great state.

Yes, I had many fine times in South Carolina, with Pawleys being one of my favorite hangouts.
GramNASTY brings shame to the state.
I'd like to see him bet his own pension and leave what's left of our money alone - see how many consequences he's really willing to suffer.
These @holes all think they're God.
He should at least change his name to Barney.
Overall, I don’t pay much attention to politicians from other states (I’m MD), but Lindsey really upsets me. Why in the hell don’t some of the republican senators politely take him out to the woodshed and teach him how to be a republican?
Hey Graham, those are NOT YOUR DOLLARS. Those are OUR DOLLARS. WE ARE TIRED OF YOU MORONS IN CONGRESS SPENDING OUR MONEY ON THINGS THAT DO NOT BETTER OUR COUNTRY!!!!!
The fact that this moron can utter these comments and get away with it is a HUGE part of the problem!
Who ever listens to him?
Preferably the bruises will be in the shape of South Carolina voters' boot prints on his backside next election.
Lindsay, thinking again with his emotions. That is what liberals and men short of testosterone do. Even conservative women like Palin and Bachmann, among many, exhibit the combination of brains and balls that Ms Graham cannot.
Hillary had the combination to Pansey Graham’s loyalty long ago. When the criminal eneterprise party needs a noisy pubby to tote their water, they just remind Pansy what’s in his FBI file that Hillary holds.
WHEN will people learn that the Two party system is really a One party system!?
The Demon-crats started ‘infiltrating’ the Republican party .. Long ago.
True Conservative Republicans are either too stupid or too ‘honorable’ to use this same tactic .. Lie .. act and speak as if you are a leftist, communist, liberal wacko, run as a Demon-crat and do a reverse infiltration!
Fighting “Fair” just wont work with snakes!
Democracy won’t do anything for these nations. Even the Soviet Union had elections, the govt still had the heavy heel on the neck of freedom.
Just proving,once again, what a POS he is.
Another RINO whose lips are permanently glued to Obama’s rear.
It’s a wonder this man can even breath without a functioning brain stem.
aaaa and he looks like a Nazi in the movies. The clean cut face, with a half lit brain, and a heart like coal.
He is a Senator, how many true Conservatives are in that body? Maybe ZERO?????
I'll just bet you are, Linthsey.
Yes sir, when the Democrats look in the mirror, they see Republicans and vice versa.
