Senator Lindsey Graham: "Overall, Obama did a really good job."

Posted on 05/19/2011 9:48:33 PM PDT by Minus_The_Bear

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."

SC has some great conservatives, but they definitely have an establishment wing of the party that has too much power sadly. They support Graham, they worked against Nikki Haley, etc.

The good news is, Haley has shown they can be beaten and I think Graham will face severe primary challenges - but not until 2014.

Good grief. Graham and McCain and stronger supporters of Obama that Reid and Pelosi.
Whatever happened to loyal opposition who actually did oppose and did speak out on policies that were harmful to our country?

Your post says it all and then some!!!!!

My voice is hoarse this morning from SCREAMING at the tv yesterday. Zero is calling for Israel to committ suicide. Or worse he just signalled the Arab nations that the US won’t help Israel in any way if they attack Israel again like they did in 1948, 1967, 1973 etc

oh yea, and Lindsay Grahamnesty should shut up and just go away!

I respect the dims more than this socialist RINO. At least they are true to their misguided principals. SC needs to purge themselves of this slug.

This little faggot isn’t EVEN a RINO. He’s a far-to-the-left-of-Karl-Marx COMMUNIST.

He is an absolute effing moron. How the heck did the good people of South Carolina put this fruitcake into the Senate? Anybody, ANYBODY that sees anything good in what Obama is doing to this country needs their head examined by a qualified, non-liberal phychologist.

And there you have it folks! We don't have a Democrat problem and we don't have a Republican problem, we have a Washington problem!

We need to vote them out, establish term limits, and elect people who understand and support our Constitution.

Is there any legal way that the fine citizens of South Carolina can remove this traitorous, 5th columnist, jackass from office?

Lindsey should just do himself and ALL of us a favor and switch parties already. The Dems would welcome that a-hole into their flock with open arms

He and Barney Frank will be the belles of the ball at the DNC cotillion.

He stands with Obama. He’s finally made a clear stand. No matter what party name he claims, he stands with Obama. Remember that, “We The People.”
