'Godfather of the Tea Party' had a love fest with President Obama on 60 Minutes

Senator Tom Coburn appeared on 60 Minutes. It turns out he loves President Obama, happy he was elected, respects him as a serious man, worked with him while they were Senators, and calls him up to perk him up when the President is under attack from the Tea Party. One would think he would have been more public with the love to help fend off the vultures.
