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."

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Michele Bachmann did not know if she was going to win or not. She was apologizing when Chris Matthews jumped on her case about talking about Obama. Now she's back in her seat and she's back on the trail trying to trash Dems.This is one reason why I don't trust Hillary Clinton. Time Obama appoint her for SOS, she might try to mess him (Obama) up. Bought sense is the best. I hope Obama move on to somebody else for this position. The Clintons and Bachmann can not be trusted.

What in the Sam Hill does Hillary Clinton have to do with Michele Bachman!?!

[Mark701]

Yeah, was wondering that myself. As far as Hillary is concerned, I doubt very much she'll mess Obama up. She may not like to lose, but I firmly believe she is a team player. If she does screw up, she's toast just like anyone else would be (unless of course they were part of the Bush Administration in which case the would recieve some kind of award).

I wish this woman would take a very long vacation with Palin.

[topkatnc]

SHAME on the people in MN for putting her back in office !!!

[frost12]

MN MUST BE FULL OF ZOMBIES !

[lobear00]

Now"Now", lets not paint the picture with a broad brush! all states have their share of "Ignorance', Minnesota is not alone. We' as does many other states have misinformed and misguided people, who will believe anything a "Nut Case " will tell them. In this case it just happened to be people who think they are "Intelligent". But have actually shown the rest of the state just how "Dumb' they truly are. in the 6th district.

[MinnesotaSpring]

I am ashamed. Although I don't live in her district, I don't get why people vote for her. I'm still holding out hope the Al Franken will win the recount. Then watch as Norm Coleman wants to spend the states money to get himself back in the Senate.

[Ozy]

I question this womans I.Q.

[MountainMarge]

They did not think President Elect Obama had the "experience". Now they don't like that he is appointing "experienced" people. If he did appoint folks from outside the beltway, he would be "radical". Certain factions of the GOP will never be happy, never reach across the aisle and are only interested in their self serving BS. Oh dear, they are gonna be hard to please!
What is the saying..."success is the best revenge?" GOBAMA! I LOVE HIM!

[feuille0d0erable]

I question this woman's patriotism.

[oscartucker]

I question this woman's sanity; she stated that she had not made the (in)famous comments AT ALL-they were "urban legends".

[TakingBackTheUSA]

Something I saw on Countdown last night, that I think SHOULD be the bigger issue is that Bachman said on Hannity and Colmes that her comments were only an "urban legend" and that she never said it.

[AmericanReflections]

And if you had been watching Countdown, you would have seen MSNBC running the tape of her saying exactly what the so called "urban legends" say she said.

Just another lying Republican.

[nachtmantel]

At least she has admitted, in her own way, to being wrong and mis-guided in talking about an anti-American Obama. If it's the same as usual, it can't be anti-American, can it, Ms. Bachmann?

[Liberalforsure]

Typical rethuglican, they never learn even when america rejected their lies, smears, false attacks, negativity and divisiveness. Wish Obama would appoint her to NASA and they send her to the moon.

[Passenger57]

This one is too easy!
All Obama has to do is float HER name for a positon - Just - float - it.
Allow her to fall all over herself.
Allow her to "walk back" all statements about his picks.
As soon as her making an ass of herself is at its peak, yank her name out of contention and say that someone showed Obama this clip of her mouthing off.

[p1zon]

BRILLIANT!!!! I love it.

[Mahi Joe]

LOL good one!

[markusmarkus]

So...............................................contrarovian!

[frost12]

HOW KARLROVIAN!
GOOD FANTASY !

[RonCanada]

Isn't she a piece of work !!

[omac112211]

This woman is seriously ill.
If she can LIE to the nation (video exists for all to see and hear), then she can't be a trustworthy

[OutsiderSA]

but she is xian so hers are always forgiven, didn't you get teh memo?

[2876]

she's taking a page out of the Palin playbook. Even when there is concrete evidence: deny, deny, and then attack.

[Skootermarx]

Bachmann's re-election underscores the Elephant is not quite dead in Minnesota. If the Democrats have anything left, the 2010 election should have her in their gun sites. It would take only some looping of her on camera ala Rev. Wright to put down this persistent pachyderm.

[OutsiderSA]

Does her reelection not run till 2012?

[billrott]

No, she is a representative and serves only 2 year terms.

[ricitizen]

Representatives only serve 2 year terms with no term limits to rerunning. The Senate 6 years terms. The President 4 limited to 2 terms.

Perhaps the House of Reps terms should be 4 years, because I think it would allow the congressman to at least think about issues for some time in their terms rather than reelection and raising money. It seems that they are thinking about reelection right out of the box and I just think it makes for bad laws.

Another thing I would like to see is that supreme court appointments be limited to 20 or 25 years. Right now it's for life.

[Berkeleyan]

While I am a woman, I despise bad, ignorant, and mean women in politics (like this one and Sarah Palin). When they are bad, ignorant, and mean, they are just much worse, more ignorant, and meaner than their male counterpart. They have no self respect and they are pathological liars. While they look like women, they are actually anti-feminine. With the God-bestowed honorable job of bearing children and raising future generations, women are supposed to be loving, kind-hearted, trustworthy, etc. These bad, ignorant, and mean women are very scary and destructive to society. Just look at the increase hate crime against Obama as a result of Sarah Palin’s attacking pit bull campaign.

[Berkeleyan]

I meant "women should be loving, kind-hearted, trustworthy, etc." not just "are supposed to be loving, kind-hearted, trustworthy, etc."

[MountainMarge]

ALL SHOULD BE loving kind and trustworthy---why just women???

[kbella]

I don't think Hannity or Bachmann would see anything as "change" unless they saw Obama picking all Republicans for his cabinet. NEWS FLASH: This is change....change from what has been going on for the last 8 years.
