- Tom Coburn Blasts Congress Over Debt Ceiling Deal, Makes Controversial Remarks About Obama
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) blasted Congress for America's financial troubles and predicted that the debt ceiling agreement would unravel this fall, calling his congressional colleagues "career elitists" and "cowards" at an event in Langley, Oklahoma on Tuesday.
"It's just a good thing I can't pack a gun on the Senate floor," Coburn said, according to the Tulsa World.
The remark comes just weeks after Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) returned to Congress to vote in favor of raising the nation's debt ceiling, seven months after she was shot in the head by a gunman in Tucson, Ariz.
In response to a man who asked whether President Barack Obama "wants to destroy America," Coburn also managed to both defend and insult the president, calling him a "very bright" man who loves his country but also someone who "as an African-American male," received "tremendous advantage" from government programs.
Obama's "intent is not to destroy, his intent is to create dependency because it worked so well for him," Coburn said.
