Michele Bachmann: Obama Led Spending "Orgy," Government "Spent Its Wad" (VIDEO)

Rep. Michele Bachmann is on a roll. Less than a week after suggesting a link between the swine flu outbreak and Democratic control of the U.S. government, the Minnesota Republican penetrated a heretofore unseen zone of weirdness and accused the Obama administration of premature fiscal ejaculation.

On Saturday, May 2, Bachmann delivered a rally speech in which she said the administration had engaged in an "orgy" of spending and that the government "spent its wad" too early. The previous administration, she noted, hadn't spent its wad until early August.

"During the last 100 days we have seen an orgy. It would make any local smorgasbord embarrassed," Bachmann said. She then told the crowd that April 26 was National Debt Day, which conservatives commemorate as the moment government spending outpaces revenue. As Bachmann explains, "The government spent its wad by April 26. Every dime government spends after April 26 throughout the rest of this fiscal year is borrowed money."

Imagine how mortified her constituents must feel every time the national media quote her or show her on TV. when even Alabama's Sen Sessions can appear on Cavuto's show and sound more rational than Michele!!!!

This is the same "representative" who said that we should have hearings to find the unpatriotic anti-american liberals.
There is nothing more american than having one's own opinion and being able to voice it. What is completely unamerican and unpatriotic is to cast out those who have a differing opinion from yours.
Michele Bachmann has shown time and time again to which category she belongs.

Was she high through the entire Bush Administration? I'm so sick of these bitter right-wing hacks blaming President Obama for W. Bush mistakes. I guess they live by the saying "if you tell often enough, people will start to believe it." Hey, that should be the new slogan of the GOP.

[Lefty83]

I forgot "lie." :P

"If you tell a LIE often enough, people will start to believe it."

Obama spent more in 2 months than Bush spent on Iraq and Afghanistan in his entire two terms.

Michelle, you were invited to the party but nobody came.

[drewziGNY]

Maybe if she had pizza.....

[despin]

she's worn out from bending over backwards for the oligarchical members, only to end up taking it on the chin...

..good Lord Michele, hire a speechwriter

Michele says: "During the last 100 days we have seen an orgy. It would make any local smorgasbord embarrassed," Don't you wonder where she has lunch and what menu she's choosing from?

It's becoming increasingly clear who is the true leader of the Republican party. The question will be settled after she and Rush have lunch together.

I think that, as with history and science, she also doesn't understand what the word "orgy" actually means. She must think it means to over-eat.

[LiberalForever]

I would love to see her and Palin on the GOP ticket, together. Wow. Talk about some comic relief.

[FGDinVA]

Please oh please oh please...

[Sarah Hatfield]

Wow, she is the NEW SARAH PALIN!! I thought the Republicans can't seem to get it right with the women....

[Gregor53]

There must be something in the water up there.

[jaslyn]

This woman becomes more of a joke everytime she opens her mouth. The people who didn't vote for her in Minnesota, must be cringing in horror.

[eHenryThripshaw]

And more than a few who did, I imagine...

[Ouroboros]

Bachmann claims to be pious, but she knows very well that she's using sex appeal and sex language to sway her audience. All the time.

[SugarGroveModerate]

I'm officially nervous about some of my fellow citizens. We know Michelle is "out there". But do you hear the crowd cheering at the stooooopid things she says?

Ey carumba!

[drewziGNY]

No, but the laughter flushes out the cheers when she's speaking.

[peaches49]

Where was this chick when Bush was running up the deficit? Minnesota wake up!!!!!!!!

[bannorhill]

So since Bush was bad and ran up a deficit then Obama can be worse and run up a bigger deficit. Is that a fiscally sound way to run a country.

[mmgbizgirl]

Let the empty wagon rattle. She's definitely a tasteless WAD.

This incarnation of the GOP are on borrowed time. Young adults think they are nuts. Middle aged adults think they have no bottom and older adults think it's the worst party in their long-lifetime.

This is the longest death spasm I've ever seen!

[sbvpav]

let's see: clinton budget surplus spent on tax cuts for the wealthy (that good ol' trickle down never works except for the wealthy) and $10 billion a month on an unnecessary war that, to date, has killed over 45000 young american men and women.

have decided every criticism of the good ol" we pander to your fears, prejudices and ignorance" gop is only what they themselves have done; think that's called transference.
