Priceless: Retiring Centrist Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) gives Obama a failing grade for bipartisanship


Retiring Sen. Olympia Snowe claims Obama hasn't met with her in over two years. So much for bringing a new atmosphere to Washington.
(The Hill)- Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) hasn’t met with President Obama in two years, she said in an interview on Tuesday.
“I think it was during the healthcare debate,” the centrist senator told ABC News. “There was a meeting on energy, a meeting in the spring of 2010.”
Asked to give Obama a grade on his outreach to legislators, she said it would be “close to failing.”
“A president should be reaching out to many on the opposite side of the aisle. You know, to many Republicans, on a bipartisan basis,” the three-term senator said.
