Bachmann Trashes Obama Cabinet Picks (VIDEO)

Representative Michele Bachmann (R-MN) is up to her old tricks, it would seem. On Hardball in October, the then-freshman representative told Chris Matthews that she thought Obama was "very anti-American," a statement that came to put her reelection campaign in jeopardy, to the point where the GOP reportedly pulled ads from her race. Last night on Hannity and Colmes, Bachmann pulled a 180 and said that Obama's cabinet picks revealed the man she once deemed too radical to be president to be "more of the same."

She thought Handiwipe was talking about Obama's kitchen cabinets.

I live in Minnesota and very thankful that I don't live in her Congressional District. I hope the DFL in her district can find someone get rid of the embarassment.

[mmgbizgirl]

She just barely won re-election and is already talking crap again?!?!!!

She has already dug the hole and now is climbing in. Count-down­...

[Mersady]

Poor Sean, he truly is out effeminate Fred Flintstone

[tedmore123]

Again, consider the source; she doesn't have ANY credibility in Minnesota; why should the rest of the world care. She is the worst kind of Repulo-twit holdover that somehow managed to get re-elected.
I have to apologize for the people of the 6th district; they apparently like her and feel she was worthy
of re-election.

I think Bachmann is feeling a little cocky because she got away with her outrageous "anti-American Congress" claims and still won the election. Trying to see what else she can get away with since she got a second wind of support and confidence.

Hannity: You don't count. If you have the balls, invite Hagel to your donkey show and let me spank you.

[Whatashame]

The Republicans should be the last people to talk about what Obama is doing. They destroy the Country for the past 7/12 years. obama will be chnahing POLICIES and the best way to do that is to surround yourself with the most educated, quality people and that is what he is doing.

Want to really get steamed? Have you heard about this poll? Repubs are citing it as fact even though it's been refutedt..­. Says Obama was elected by uninformed electorate.

Scroll down there is a link to a video of Obama voters being interviewe­d...

Zogby was asked to duplicate a similar poll for McCain/Palin voters but declined to do so:

There is just so much crap out there... Imagine what we could do if the whole country would put their energy working on fixing what's wrong!

It's always easier to blame than to actually learn something or do something.

[tedmore123]

It has always been easier to tear something down than to have the forsight, ability, skill and the right tools to build something. All players in the right wing media that profited from tearing down the Clinton Administration are at work from Rush to Hannity to O'reilly, to Savage to FOX Noise - TV and radio. The Fox radio station is on FM in MPLS and show after show is nothing but non stop ragging about an admistration that hasn't even been sworn in yet.

[Whatashame]

FOX NEWs should be label a terrorist organization because they perpetuate and incite hatred.

[songbird02]

That's the absolute truth....

[StillAmused]

From this point forward, the Fox Funnies will be reduced to interviewing sideshow loop-jobs like Bachmann, Nanook Of The North and global visionaries like Karl Rove, William Kristol and Dick Morris.

All the competent, sane players will be too busy pulling the country out of the ditch dug by Junior and his merry band of neocon war criminals. They'll only have time to comment to actual news outlets

[songbird02]

I love your post... I needed to laugh. Thank you! I love the reference to Faux News as Fox Funnies!

[LeeCalif]

Well. She's correct.

[sepiasiren]

Please--she belongs to the great group of numbnuts who are calling this the Obama recession and the man isn't even in office yet...!

[lobear00]

To rep bachmann, and all the other, republican­s,neocons,­conservati­ves, step down off your little pony's of "Cowardness", in this time of need,your country needs your service! pickup your little toes' and head down to your nearest "Armed Services Recruiter's office and sign up! "Hurry and get your little tails over to where the fighting is and do your part graciously "and give your life for what you believe to be the truth.

To all the little "Warmongers please go now' and stand up and do your part, don't be the "Cowards" that you truly are and sit back while others have to do "Your dirty work for you., Remember your "Country " needs you now.

[bilbo8]

It absolutely amazes me how some of these politicians try to spin the truth. They must really think the American people are stupid or are they are so deluded and desperate that will say anything even though they know it’s lying.

Thanks to the 6th district in Minnesota reelecting this fine piece of work. If you folks want to correct that error: http://dumpbachmann.blogspot.com/

According to the news sources, the Republicans are in the process of trying to determine what went wrong with their party. I suggest that they take a look at people such as Hannity, Colter, Limbaugh, Palin and Bachmann. These people are abrasiveness, insulting, narrow as can be ,and truly out of touch with reality. Perhaps, if Republicans chose better spokespeople it would help their cause.

[Mark701]

Actually I read a conservative pundit yesterday who was doing just that. She pointed to all those morons as well as the Republcan God fixation as the reason they were floundering. Let's hope they never change.

[zeldapie]

Hmm. The comment I wrote yesterday didn't post, so I'll try again.
I'm MInnesota born and bred and live happily in Minneapolis, surrounded by fellow liberals. The Obama and Franken signs in my neighborhood outnumbered the McCain and Coleman signs by about 200 to 1. In fact, I don't recall SEEING a Coleman sign within five square miles of my house. My congressman is Keith Ellison, the only Muslim elected to the House of Representatives. He was re-elected by a landslide in my district (the Fifth).
Bachmann represents PART of the SIXTH district. I say "PART," because a great many people in that district voted for Tinklenberg. The Sixth district comprises outer ring suburbs, exurbs, and some farm land. People there live in McMansions and drive Hummers and SUVs and apparently, many are as crazy as their congresswoman, but not all.
Believe me, Minnesota is a Blue state and always will be. Yes, there are pockets of crazy here, but please don't judge all of Minnesota by the nuts in the Sixth who voted for Bachmann.
She's an embarrassment to us.

[Berkeleyan]

Thanks for a sweet note to clarify, zeldapie. Have a great day.

Why don't you guys try and dump her?
