Fox: You say the president has been AWOL...He's been writing editorials, he's been all over the media, you don't think that's an approach that's been work-...
Graham: No, no, no, no. Scaring people is not leadership. Writing an editorial that if you don't pass this bad bill, we're going to have disaster....We've had enough presidents trying to scare people into making bad decisions...[Obama] is not leading. Having lunch is not leading. Getting people in a room like Ronald Reagan and Tip O'Neill did to solve Social Security has not happened here. Doing TV interviews is not leading.
We need a bunch of Republicans and Democrats in a room with the White House to find out how to smartly spend money to create jobs and if it doesn't create a job in the near-term, we shouldn't spend the money.
Fox: Do you fear the risk of being labeled a partisan with that kind of talk...?
Graham: If this is bipartisanship, count me out...this process stinks. It's been a partisan exercise in the House and the Senate...I am very disappointed.
...This is not the way you spend $800 billion...$1 trillion with interest!...16 senators behind closed doors trying to figure out how to do it by tonight. That's CRAZY!!
This bill is even giving “the buckwheats” to the MSM....!
I guess we now have living proof it's possible to borrow a pair of them.
Must’ve seen the internal polling.
I don’t care what exactly got Lindsey’s undies in a twist about this—because it’s good news whatever the cause. Let’s hope the gals in the Northeast and the stray RINOs across the plain are just as incensed.
Wait, second alternative......McCain runs over, dragging Joe Scarborough and cams, for a “Bailout” acceptance speech, and there's L in L Lindsey saying it is the best for the country that we all just get along.
The president is running all over town warning that the world as we know it will come to an end if this mountain of pork doesn't pass immediately. I don't buy it one bit, and neither should the U.S. Senate.
Kill the Porkulus Bill and start over with a real stimulus which should focus on massive personal and business tax cuts.
He offered nothing in specifics--and let Pelosi virtually write the whole thing.
Not only is that NOT leadership,,,,that is NOT EVEN BEING IN THE GAME.
AWOL was a good choice of words.
wow! could it be Graham has regenerated part of his anatomy?. ..like a starfish or something?
Did this little nancy boy find his own set for a change, rather than someone else’s?
Yup, the stimulus project is indeed a joke.
....that originated from a clown.
.....backed by his clown club.
Its amazing what receiving tens of thousands of voice and emails from constituents will do to a career politician. Like Ronald Reagan said: "If you can't make them see the light make them feel the heat."
He is a grandstanding moron that is trying to get reelected. That is the only thing he has ever accomplished.
If only the GOP would filibuster this POS bill!!!
EXACTLY WHAT does Hussein know about economics?
Has he ever run business? Does he have any sort of degree in economics?
Has he ever met a payroll?
AGAIN, what is his economic background?
I'd listen to the manager of the nearest 7/11 before I would listen to Hussein--after all, the manager of the 7/11 DOES have some economic experience to base his opinions on!!

Oh, my GOD! Miss Lindsey Grahamnesty is blowing a gasket! Well, it’s about time! Welcome aboard, Miss Grahamnesty!
Yowzer, Lindsey get’s his thong in a wad?!
This is no way for a RINO to act.
Wow, this might mean that the scientific and medical communities have finally perfected human brain transplants... or, his head meds are starting to work.
Actually, I was very impressed with his words, but will never be so inclined with the man.
