WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina | Sen. Lindsey Graham hopes to work with Obama
Member Center:
COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - As the stimulus plan goes into effect, Sen. Lindsey Graham has some concerns and hopes he and the president can find some common ground.
Graham says things are still going to get worse. He supports spending for bridges, roads and infrastructure, but says with other spending measure the stimulus bill missed the mark.
"If we would have spent some of this money or half of this money on banking and housing, we'd a had a better result in my opinion," Graham said.
Graham highlighted his own bi-partisan spirit.
"I think I've had a reputation for reaching across that aisle, what we had here was an effort to pick off three Republicans and not meet the Republican party half way," Graham said.
He says he hopes things will be different in Washington when they tackle dealing with the mortgage crisis and stopping foreclosures.
"We've got another chance to do this, it's gonna take more money. I'm willing to spend that money for the common good, but I just ask to be met in the middle and be listened to, and I think the president will," Graham said.
