Today Senator Barack Obama talked aboutsome Republicans he would consider working closely with when president:

“On foreign policy I’ve worked very closely with Dick Lugar,” Obama said. “I consider him one of my best friends in the Senate. He’s someone I would actively seek counsel and advice from when it came to foreign policy.”

“Senator Warner is another example of somebody with great wisdom, although I don’t always agree with him on every issue,” Obama said. “I would also seek out people like Tom Coburn, who is probably the most conservative member of the U.S. Senate. He has become a friend of mine.”

My thoughts? Does Obama know any Republicans outside of the Senate? Not to be picky BUT he platform is based on the notion that he is a about change over Washington experience. I am sure there are plenty of Republicans from the outside that would like to join in on the fun!
