Michele Bachmann Keeps Rumors Of Presidential Bid Alive On Greta

Video
» 47 comments

Last night on Fox News, Representative Michele Bachmann stopped by to talk with Greta van Susteren about the debt crisis and to share her charts demonstrating how much money President Obama spent in the past two years. However, Greta was eager to get Bachmann’s comments on the bubbling up rumors that the Congresswoman is seriously considering a run at the White House in 2012.

Bachmann played it coy, refusing to announce definitive intentions, yet made it known she wants her name to continue to be mentioned:

I’m very committed to doing whatever I can to make sure that we don’t have a second term for President Obama. So I’m going to add my voice to that conversation in the next two years. . . . [I]t’s not about my personal ambition. But it is about making sure that people know what the issues are, what the principles are, because I think a year from now – I mean, can you imagine two years of speculating about who the nominee will be? . . . It is boring.

Boring? Speak for yourself! I think it would be much harder to imagine two years of not speculating about who the nominee will be. Some Republicans will have to announce their candidacy soon, although if you’re betting on who might be first out of the gate, the safe money is definitely not on Bachmann. Most likely her decision requires waiting first to see what fellow Tea Party “mama grizzly” Sarah Palin intends to do.

    If you want gossipy rumours there is no finer show to watch than Greta O’Van Susteren. For general misinformation, Beckerhead, Bill-o and O’Hannity are good.

  • Probably NOT wrong

    Majestic Michele was regal & ravishing on “Greta” last night. Her auburn hair was glorious, her stylish ensemble perfect. Sapphire rings glittered upon her dainty fingers as she displayed her charts & plans for progress & prosperity. Michele Bachmann is ready to rule.

  • TangledThorns

    If Sarah doesn’t run then I’ll support Michelle 100 percent! Either candidate will easily defeat Obama in 2012 and fix all his failures in 2013. Enjoying the high gas prices America? Thank Obama for that!

    Let’s face it, Lars, when you extort farm subsidies from the federales like she and her husband do, you can afford such things.

    Sarah Palin has a Political Action Committee that has been operating for a year and a full staff that is preparing for the Republican Presidential primary elections.

    Sarah Palin writes about her reasons for repealing Obamacare in her book, “America By Heart”:

    Right, because gas prices have never been so high before, certainly not under “oil man” Bush Jr…

    “Oil jumped to another record on Tuesday, and the government said it expected gasoline prices to peak at a national average of $3.73 a gallon in June, just as the summer driving season kicks off.”

    Lol! Unlike Obama I suppose who lost his first run at elected office then only won on his second try because they managed to get the other three candidates tossed off the ballot.
