President Obama and the Democrats in Congress have tried every conceivable idea to sell people on their health care reform.  Too bad for them, but the American people aren’t buying it.

Graham Presses Obama Administration to Establish Libyan No-Fly Zone

Meghan Hughes (202-224-5972) or Kevin Bishop (864-250-1417)

Then-Senator Obama relished the opportunity to label Iraq as President Bush’s war.  If he does not act decisively in Libya, I believe history will show that the Obama Administration owned the results of the Gaddafi regime from 2011 forward.

The situation in Libya remains tenuous and the DNI Director’s comments today on Gaddafi’s “staying power” are not helpful to our national security interests.  His comments will make the situation more difficult for those opposing Gaddafi.

The new GAO report validates what most people already knew – certain aspects of the government are duplicative and wasteful.

I am very pleased that President Obama has chosen to nominate Tim Cain for the Federal District Court.  Tim has been a family court judge in Oconee County for many years.  He’s a former law partner and one of the finest men I have ever known.

WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) was recognized by the American Conservative Union (ACU) for his votes in the last session of the U.S. Senate.  Graham voted the conservative position 92 percent of the time in 2010, and the group termed him an ‘ACU Conservative.’

Egyptian President Mubarak’s decision to step aside was the right thing to do.  I hope his resignation allows healing to begin and Egypt to move toward free, open, and transparent democratic elections.

Our bill takes the fight out of Washington and puts it back in the states.  I would hope every Senator, regardless of party, would give the people of their home state a chance to be heard.  I’m confident that if given the chance, a large number of states would opt-out of the provisions regarding the individual mandate, employer mandate, and expansion of Medicaid.  As more states opt-out, it will have the effect of repealing and replacing Obamacare.
