In the discussion thread: Obama Releases Statement On Lugar ‘Retirement’ [View all]

Tue May 8, 2012, 11:49 PM

20. I feel really bad about Senator Lugar.

He was just about the last of the decent Republicans out there, and I've always felt like he was a genuinely decent person. I have some Indiana ties, and he's been Senator there for just about as long as I can remember. I'm not surprised that the teabaggers finally went after him.

I actually think it would be nice if Obama could find some position for him in his administration, if it's something he'd be interested in.
