Obama Reaches Across the Aisle

We at TM.com are all for reaching across the aisle, especially on issues like
Iraq. We’ve got to end the war. But compromising with some people just doesn’t
cut it as far as we’re concerned.
“There are some very capable Republicans who I have a great deal of
respect for,” Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press. “The
opportunities are there to create a more effective relationship between parties.”Among the Republicans he would seek help from are Sens. Richard Lugar of
Indiana, John Warner of Virginia and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, Obama said.“On foreign policy I’ve worked very closely with Dick Lugar,” Obama
said. “I consider him one of my best friends in the Senate. He’s someone
I would actively seek counsel and advice from when it came to foreign policy.”“Senator Warner is another example of somebody with great wisdom, although
I don’t always agree with him on every issue,” Obama said. “I would
also seek out people like Tom Coburn, who is probably the most conservative
member of the U.S. Senate. He has become a friend of mine.”
Is Senator Obama talking about this Tom Coburn?
“I favor the death penalty for abortionists and other people who
take life.”
Or maybe this
Tom Coburn:
“The gay community has infiltrated the very centers of power in
every area across this country, and they wield extreme power … Why do
you think we see the rationalization for abortion and multiple sexual partners?
That’s a gay agenda.”
Coburn is also the guy who protested the airing of “Schindler’s List,”
saying it showed “…irresponsible sexual behavior…I cringe when
I realize that there were children all across this nation watching this program.”
He later admitted he didn’t handle the situation too well.
But this
Tom Coburn is down right creepy.
Senator Obama, you might want to rethink the company you keep.
