I am not saying that all Republicans are responding like this guy but really.....after Obama has called and spoken with so many Republicans in Congress, met with GOP pundits and indicated he is willing to work on both sides of the aisle, do you think King's attitude is an appropriate response? Rep. King refuses to participate in Iowa congressional delegation’s inauguration festivities Iowa Politics reports that tomorrow after President-elect Obama’s inaugural parade and swearing-in ceremony, Iowa’s congressional delegation will be hosting a reception in the Dirksen Senate Office Building. Attending will be the state’s two senators and four of the five representatives — with Rep. Steve King (R-IA) refusing to participate: That’s right, four — not all five. U.S. Rep. Steve King, a Kiron Republican known for his warning that the election of Barack Obama would lead to terrorists “dancing in the streets,” declined to participate, according to congressional aides. King said in an interview that he would have had to use money from his campaign fund to pay for the cookies and coffee to be offered up at the reception and he didn’t think it was an appropriate use for the money. “It’s not anti-anybody,” he said. “My disagreements with Barack Obama have never been anything but philosophical.” thinkprogress.org
