    OMG! The senator of OK just turned his back on the "people" of his own state. The "people" who elected him. My impression of him is he is like the tin man from the Wizard of OZ before he was given a heart. I'm bet when election time rolls around, his opinions will be remembered. My heart goes out to everyone affected in this tragic act of nature
