Michele Bachmann Confuses Barack Obama for Herself
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is back in the news with yet another moronic gaffe, which can only mean one thing...
It's a day ending in -y.
Bachmann, speaking at an anti-tax rally in Minnesota, declared yesterday that President Obama would go down as one of the "greatest dividers we've ever had in the history of our country."
Check it out...
Although we normally think Bachmann falls somewhere on the sanity scale between Jim Bunning and Vincent Van Gogh, we think she may have a point here.
After all, Obama did get about as divisive as a politician can get when he appeared on Hardball last fall and told Chris Matthews he supported a McCarthy-style inquisition to segregate the country into "pro-America or Anti-America" groups.
That was Obama, right?
Oh wait.

That was hilarious! This Bachman woman is a lunatic and the laughing stock of the GOP (wait - I guess she's just one of the top ten since there really are a bunch of them) I hope they just keep talking because they are proving day after day how inept, incredibly stupid and unecessary they are in their positions, since they do NOTHING. How about criticizing Obama's choice for Supreme Court BEFORE HE EVEN MADE A CHOICE. They have no clue and it gets worse for them every time they open their mouths. If we hadn't had to suffer so badly for their bad judgement and illegal activities over the past 12 years, I'd almost feel sorry for them. NOT!

People label these as "gaffes" and call her "crazy", but look back on what she's said in the recent past and you'll notice that her rhetoric starts showing up weeks later in the national conservative media. I don't think she's any kind of leader, but I think she's tapped into the strong disgruntled current of the right wing, and she has an excellent ear for rhetoric that will hook certain people. She's often the first to the stage to shout the next tag line before it's been refined - clearly she's fearless and probably not too bright. But watch and see if FOX news doesn't start an organized "great divider" campaign in the next weeks.
