Rep. Michele Bachmann Says Obama Worst President In US History

    

 Big Government has an excellent interview with Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. She is one of only a handful of real Conservatives on Capital Hill. Only Sarah Palin is hated more by the left than Bachmann — but not by much.

Michele Bachmann from Minnesota’s 6th District.

Two years ago, when Barack Obama became our President, unemployment was 7.8 percent and our national debt stood at what seemed like a staggering $10.6 trillion dollars.

We wondered whether the President would cut spending, reduce the deficit and implement real job-creating policies.

Unfortunately, the President’s strategy for recovery was to spend a trillion dollars on a failed stimulus program, fueled by borrowed money.

The White House promised us that all the spending would keep unemployment under 8 perce This theme began more than an hour before the president took the podium, when the full text of the speech was leaked to the National Journal by a Democratic source, forcing the White House to release its own unembargoed version of the speech.

It continued during the responses, as CNN – the only news network that had made the decision to air the second, tea party response from Bachmann (R-Minn.) – put a big clock counting down the minutes until her response and then removed it when she got stuck behind the president’s motorcade, thus delaying the speech.

CNN had already made itself the talk of the political world when it announced its decision on Tuesday to air Bachmann’s tea party response, in addition to the official Republican response from Rep. Paul Ryan.

The move drew some criticism from Republicans. “It’s not responsible journalism,” one Republican aide told the Washington Post’s Greg Sargent, complaining that it made the Republicans look conflicted when they weren’t.

But CNN Political Director Sam Feist defended the decision, and was surprised that others didn’t choose to join in, particularly since they all had the rights to air the pool feed and knew that the speech was one of the most eagerly anticipated aspects of this year’s State of the Union event.
