Graham: Seedy Chicago Politics Passed Health Care Bill...

McCain surrogate goes after Obama politics

(By ANDREW GREINER, NBC Chicago) - The United States Senate reached an agreement on health care reform legislation this weekend, and they couldn’t have done it without a bit of Chicago grit.

At least, that’s what South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham thinks.

Graham, a long-time friend and adviser to President Obama’s election opponent John McCain, said the bill, which passed the Senate late Saturday night was only reached because of “seedy Chicago politics” which have been established by the new president from Chicago.
