Exclusive: President Michele Bachmann?
 Source: ABC News

Forget the fervent chatter speculating that Tea Party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann is considering launching a campaign to challenge Sen. Amy Klobuchar for the Minnesota U.S. Senate seat in the next national election cycle. Think bigger.


ABC News has learned that Bachmann, R-Minn., also is seriously weighing whether to seek the Republican nomination for president in 2012.

~snip~

Although aides in Bachmann's congressional office said she has received frequent encouragement from supporters to challenge President Obama next year, they would not confirm quite yet that she officially was throwing her hat into the ring.

However, Bachmann's senior staff did admit the Minnesotan is not ruling out a presidential campaign. "Nothing is off the table," Bachmann chief of staff Andy Parrish told ABC News when asked whether the Iowa trip signaled Bachmann's intent to run for president. "The congresswoman is excited about her first trip to Iowa this year."

HONESTLY - i'd love to see her run.

She gets beat up cause she does say some crazy things.  investigate congressmen for unamericanism? lol

But in terms of experience and BRAIN POWER... She destroys Palin and steals that base.  She's very competent and would not be a confused puppet ala Palin.

me too, by a mile.  She's SMART.  Granted, neurotic and nutty at time - but she does believe in the constitution.  2 years ago, palin was balming man for global warming, opening up the borders, and singing the praises of TARP.  SHe's a seasonal tea partier ;)

Bachmann has been consistent all along!

Bachmann can give Palin a run for her money in the stupid/incoherent comment category.

Here's a recent gem:

Bachmann: Tax Cuts Don’t Really Cause Deficits

December 11th, 2010

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN), the Tea Party mega-star, has emerged in the past few days as a leading opponent of the Obama-GOP tax cuts compromise from the right. And in the process, she is elaborating on the common theme among conservatives that tax cuts should not be paid for in terms of their effect on the deficits. Or as she puts it, cutting taxes shouldn’t be defined as part of a deficit, and only spending should be viewed through this lens.

“I don’t agree with that definition,” Bachmann told Meredith Viera on the Today Show. “When people keep their own money, that’s considered a deficit to government, but it’s not a deficit to your pocket or mine, so I think it’s important that people can keep their money.”

she's made the same incoherent and just flat out wrong statement more than once.

It's just how you "frame it"

If you put a "crazy/stupid" frame around it and you're a retarded Tbagger then it makes sense

And in an exchange with John Roberts on CNN:

BACHMANN: And remember it's a deficit to government but it's not a deficit to people who get to keep their money. So it's how you frame it. I don't think letting people keep their own money should be considered a deficit.

ROBERTS: But it is, though, because it adds to the federal deficit.

BACHMANN: No, you're right about that, John, that it is to the government, but remember what we could also be doing right now: Cutting back on spending. We've had the biggest increase in spending in the last two years that anyone can remember in modern times. We can also cut back spending to that level and that's not on the table right now.

Yeah right.... I can understand having no life and posting all day long while sitting at home waiting for mommy to make your sandwich for lunch, but yet taking time out of REAL LIFE, like when you are away from a regular PC, to post on the internet with the usual whining and crying?  Pathetic.  Must have been a long subway ride for you to defend that speeding ticket.

Exactly.  Same here.  But do you post on it when you *gasp* actually leave the house and PC behind?  Can you live without posting on the internet until you return home or to the office?  Or do you simply MUST continue the whinings and crying via phone while on the subway or bus? 

Most people, well actually.... ALL of the people I know, don't do it.

The far-left clowns on here are spitting images of their heroes in Washington that were just bitch-slapped by the American public. They're incapable of actually discussing any issues (usually because they have no fucking idea what they're talking about) and can do little more than sling personal insults while derailing threads....much like how the far-leftists in Washington love to vilify anyone who doesn't drink their kool-aid (i.e. the majority of Americans).
