99. Here is Obama waxing romantic about his agreement and friendship with Tom Coburn

Thu Sep 5, 2013, 05:10 PM

Sep 2013

in a special love letter in Time Magazine, best part says OK is lucky to have Coburn. Coburn is a hate mongering homophobic bigot. Obama is his friend and touts their work together.
"We co-sponsored the “Google for Government” act, which made government more transparent and more accountable to the American people. We worked together to cut down on earmarks. And we continue to agree on the need to reduce wasteful spending and close tax loopholes that benefit only the well-off and well connected.

The people of Oklahoma are lucky to have someone like Tom representing them in Washington — someone who speaks his mind, sticks to his principles and is committed to the people he was elected to serve."'

So do you also dig you some Coburn? Or is Obama just agreeing with a hate soaked idiot on a few things, because even the hate soaked idiot can be right upon occasion? Or is Obama very wrong to EVER agree with Coburn, much less to work with him then brag about it in magazines?

You were asked a query, and you ignored it. R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2013 #25

You think supporting the President is the only reason to reject hypocrisy and idiocy? ProSense Sep 2013 #5

I think that's YOUR motivation for virtually everything you post here cali Sep 2013 #8

Again, does supporting the President mean one can't reject hypocrisy and idiocy? n/t ProSense Sep 2013 #11

Do you support the President implicitly? R. Daneel Olivaw Sep 2013 #20
