Dan Boren Won't Endorse Obama
Washington (From The Tulsa World's Washington Bureau) ~ U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla., said Tuesday he will not endorse Barack Obama for president.
"I still remain very concerned about the (Obama) voting record being the most liberal of the United States Senate,’’ said Boren, a superdelegate to this summer’s national Democratic convention in Denver.
He expressed support for what he described as a "centrist” agenda, adding his party’s presumptive nominee’s record does not reflect that approach.
"Having said that, I am voting for Democrats this year,’’ Boren said.“I think it is very important that we have a change of direction in this country because we cannot afford the policies of George Bush to keep moving.’’
He said the nation’s economy is in a terrible state with a housing crisis and record level gas prices, and the country has a foreign policy that is not well thought out.
