Graham: Obama taking over 'most of society'

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) accused President Obama of "turning his agenda over to the
most liberal people in the House," and pointed out that few Democrats are campaigning on
the Democratic health-care bill. "Most Democrats in swing states are running against Nancy
Pelosi and against the Obama takeover of most of society," Graham said. The South
Carolina Republican predicted that there will be more bipartisanship in 2011, particularly on
extending the Bush-era tax cuts. He defended his friend, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who
took the unusual step of harshly denouncing a Senate colleague -- Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-
Calif.) -- at a recent campaign rally for Carly Fiorina. "I think John is reacting to an agenda
that he thinks has really been overreaching," Graham said. "It is different. The Senate is
different now."

Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean and GOP strategist Liz
Cheney got into a heated discussion about President Obama's recent accusations that the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce is funding attack ads with money from overseas donors. "It's
not fair and it's an abomination and a shame that he's attempting to chill first amendment
rights," Cheney said.

Buck: Being gay is 'like alcoholism'

Colorado Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet and his Republican rival, Ken Buck, faced off in
a debate. On the topic of gay people serving in the military, Buck said that he believes
sexuality is a choice, but added, “I think that birth has an influence over it, like alcoholism
and other things.” Buck defended himself against charges that he’s been inconsistent on the
issues, saying, “It is easy when you have a tracker, and you have 100 examples of answers,
to use a tape that shows a slight deviation in the answer.” Bennet shot back that “the flip-
flops in this race are unbelievable.”

Bennet also defended his vote for the stimulus, saying that the stimulus “saved us from
going into the second Great Depression.” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs also
appeared on the show. He predicated that Democrats will retain control of the House and
Senate this November, a reversal from his projection over the summer that Democrats could
lose the House. He also said that Democratic candidates have done “a remarkably good job
in a tough political environment.”

ABC: THIS WEEK

O'Donnell: GOP isn't helping me

New Castle County Executive Chris Coons (D) and marketing consultant Christine
O’Donnell (R) were interviewed separately on the show. Coons said that he’d gone from
“significantly down to significantly up” in the polls in his race against O’Donnell. Of
O’Donnell, Coons said, “I think my grandmother would have said she has a lot of moxie,”
adding that her greatest strength is that she’s “good on TV.” O’Donnell said that her
campaign is hoping for the National Republican Senatorial Committee to “help us shine a
spotlight on my opponent’s negative record,” but “it’s two-and-a-half weeks left, and they’re
not.” The NRSC has donated the maximum $42,000 to O’Donnell’s campaign. O’Donnell
also said that her campaign has not run any negative ads against Coons.

In the show’s roundtable, Meghan McCain said that O’Donnell is “making a mockery of
running for public office” and is “seen as a nutjob” among her group of friends. McCain also
said that the tea party movement is “losing young voters at a rapid rate.”

Bair: No foreclosure moratorium

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chair Sheila Bair called the foreclosure crisis
"tragic," but she said she would not support a national moratorium on foreclosures. "If a
family can't afford making a modified payment, then something else has to happen," Bair
said. "I regret it, but that's just the way the system has to work." She said federal regulators
must make sure that all appropriate processes are followed before foreclosure.”
