Washington — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), one of the Senate's high-profile mavericks, tells National Review Online that President Obama's "whining" over the tax deal reveals his "political immaturity."
"By using rhetoric that calls us 'hostage-takers,' he believes, somehow, that the Left will give him some credit for hating us, or putting us in a bad light. But it just lowers him," Graham says. "He is whining, and no one likes a whining president. . . . There is a lot of disappointment on our side. Quite frankly, this is going to be hard to forget."
