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 were 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 thats 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."
The U.S. pays Egypt $540 million per year for oil we import from them. Why the hell would we forgive $1 billion in debts? Just let them give us 2 years of free oil.
AAAAAAAUUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!
Sounds like Lindsey Graham wants to be a running mate for Newt.
What a stupid SOB. Way to go re-electing him, South Carolina.
I have a few problems with that.
Why did Obama give Ahmadinejad a pass during their uprising, saying "we cannot interfere in the sovereign affairs of other nations"
And Syria is likely to have the Iraqi WMD's, Who stands to get them if Baracks plan goes down?
a RINO progressive supporting a progressive dem?
so shocking
/sarc
C’mon. Tell us what Lindsey Gayham really said. I bet he actually said that Obama was “FABULOUS!”
Cheers
Either that or...
That’s the way I feel. I swear if these RINOs don’t shut their pie-holes BO is going to get re-elected!
This young lady addresses Miss Grahamnesty appropriately:

NO way will she ever step aside from her throne.
Lindsey can dream, can’t he?
This is over the top. This should be reason enough for the Palmetto State to start some kind of movement to, not wait for next election, but recall him now. You could use lying as your reason, he lied saying he is a Republican. He has now proved he is a Democrat beyond all doubt.
Lindsey Graham is a giant, evil faggot.
Is it against the rules here to say that?
Try him for High crimes and Treason, right along with the Marxist and the other thugs in his regime.
The authority for bombing Libya ran out today. The Marxist is acting without the approval of Congress, [as if that matters].
I guess it could be called dreaming. His words read more like a hallucination though.
“I have a message for Senator Lindsey Graham. Why do you not switch parties and become a democrat, Senator Graham?”

He won’t do this. Know why? Because he learned from McCain; if he were to join the Dems, he’d be just another Dem. By staying a Republican and screwing his own party, the MSM will label him a “Hero” or a “Maverick.” He and McCain pleasure themselves thinking about the glowing press coverage they’ll get for bucking the GOP.
Graham and McCain are both media WHORES! They’d sell their very own souls for glowing press coverage by our leftist media.
FULG!
Does this clueless Senator realize we are broke? We can’t give any money unless we borrow or print it first!
