Indiana senator extolls bipartisanship in talk at Illini Union
URBANA – Sen. Richard Lugar, R-Ind., thinks bipartisanship is the answer to getting things done in politics – and thinks President-elect Barack Obama is prepared to use it as he leads the country.
Lugar, who spoke at the Illini Union on Tuesday after winning the 2007 Paul H. Douglas Ethics in Government Award, said Obama and Sen. John McCain showed bipartisanship during their time in Congress. Lugar said he spoke on the phone with the president-elect Monday to talk foreign policy.
