Republican Fool of the Week

Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann stuck her foot way into her mouth.

Ms Bachman said that Obama may have anti-American views. That there are probably many members of Congress that have anti-American views. Also that that main stream media should do an expose on these members to show the American people exactly who these anti-Americans are.

Sunday she said:

I feel his views are concerning, and I'm calling on the media to investigate them. I'm not saying that his views are anti-American.

Except if you listen to the interview that's what she says about Obama over and over and over again. Go to you tube and search under the Reps. name and you'll find many versions of the interview. Here's an excerpt from it.



Now she is trying to back track saying:

Defending her TV comments Wednesday at the Rotary Club, Bachmann said that Obama "loves his country, just as everyone in this room does."


Except that's not what she said at all. This reminds me of Phil Gramm's comments earlier in the year about America being a nation of whiners. Then saying he meant America's leaders; except that's not what he said at all.

In turn about is fair play National Republicans have yanked TV advertising for her. Also the candidate she beat in the primary, Aubrey Immelman, is now launching a write in campaign.

In all not a very good few days for the Congresswoman but at least she's not anti-American.

She may not be "anti-American', but with a little luck she'll soon be un-employed.
