ONR Extra Coburn (5:39)

Featured in ONR Extras

Oklahoma U.S. Senator Tom Coburn made national news recently with a couple of comments at town hall meeting. Responding to a man in Langley who asked if President Obama "wants to destroy America," Coburn said the president's "intent is not to destroy, his intent is to create dependency because it worked so well for him." "As an african-american male," Coburn said, Obama received "tremendous advantage from a lot of these programs." Coburn has offered to apologize to any congressional colleagues offended by his remark that "it was a good thing he couldn't pack a gun on the senate floor." Coburn called the comment about shooting fellow lawmakers out of frustration a joke. Senator Coburn met with constituents at several town hall meetings this week. In this ONR Extra, here is an excerpt from the town hall in Claremore.
