The Hammer Tears Into Obama Speech Calling It “Abstract, vapid, and self-absorbed”

Listen to Mr K this evening too and as usual he was right on..

Richard Lugar has a different opinion:

Senator Richard Lugar praised President Barack Obama’s Cairo address to the Muslim world as a “signal achievement” and dismissed Republican criticism that the speech was too apologetic.

The speech was important and necessary, said Lugar, the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, noting a “lack of sympathy for our country” in many Muslim nations.

On another issue:

Lugar said federal appellate judge Sonia Sotomayor has “excellent qualifications” to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court. He recalled his own support for her when she was elevated from a district court to an appellate court by then-President Bill Clinton in 1998.

The 59 Democratic senators are all expected to support her. And if the seven senators who voted for her 11 years ago don’t change their vote, she will be “confirmed fairly easily,” Lugar said.

Lugar is one of a handful of Republicans that the media and Democratic Party uses as straw man propaganda.

Here is a great example of how RINOs are used to paint a false picture:
