Rep. Michele Bachmann’s Jobs Speech Rebuttal: Obama Is ‘Politically Paralyzed’

video
» 142 comments

Just as she did after this year’s State of the Union address, Rep. Michele Bachmann delivered an unofficial response to the President’s jobs speech in front of Congress last night– and this time at least looked at the camera. In a short but rhetorically powerful statement, Rep. Bachmann expressed exasperation with the President for exhausting “one of the most sacred political forums” to deliver a plan that has “been tried and failed before.”

It was a short rebuttal– thought not the shortest of the night– seeking only to highlight the ideological differences between the President and the current Republican candidates. “Unfortunately” was the first word of her response, followed by the claim that the President’s policies “have cost the American people both jobs and prosperity.”

Rep. Bachmann took a swipe at the joint session idea, calling it “one of the most sacred political forums”– which begs the question why she and several other Republicans barely attended– but mostly stuck to the policy, arguing that “even if the President’s plan passes, we already know it will fail in practice,” as it proposes nothing new. “Our patience for speeches, gimmicks, and excuses has run out,” she declared emphatically.

Rep. Bachmann’s statements concluded that the President was “politically paralyzed” but, more importantly rhetorically, “philosophically incapable of doing what needs to be done.” That last line drives home Rep. Bachmann’s strategy: she’s not going for any swing votes, but hoping to get out the vote among her base in strong enough numbers to dilute the independent vote that will likely be evenly divided among several candidates.

Rep. Bachmann’s remarks via CNN below:

    The stock market is giving OBAMO a big ‘FU’ today, as is Bank of America, which is considering shedding 40,000 workers.

    The private sector will stick that OBAMO pitchfork right back at him for all his finger-wagging and demonizing. Then, when OBAMO is safely eliminated, the private sector will start hiring again. The obvious and clear conclusion: It was OBAMO’s fault all along.

    And that will be his legacy.

    King Obama has cheapened the joint session with a campaign speech .

    Next week’s joint session will feature Obama reading his favorite cop killer rap lyrics , also the recently uncovered true words to ” Louie , Louie ” .

    “I was secretly hoping that Speaker Boehner would arrange to have Styrofoam columns brought into the House of Representatives’ chamber, to be installed adjacent to the podium when the teleprompters were carted in.  It would have been a fitting response to the abuse of Congress by using an address to a Joint Session to give a campaign speech kicking off a president’s re-election campaign.
    Make no mistake: the president cheapened and degraded the majesty of an address to both Houses of Congress.   We have every reason to expect that with the precedent now set, Joint Sessions are fair game for appropriation by future presidents seeking a majestic backdrop for political posturing.”

    Any reasonable person would say that speech Obama gave was conciliatory to Republicans by offering them a plan that included past GOP proposals. But Big Eddie will have none of it. He has to assassinate the character of the President just because he belongs to another President.

    There’s a bigger economic picture appearing here and I think the sensible minds on both sides of the aisle will be looking properly at the detail next week. John Boehner gave it a cautious welcome. The public will want to see some bipartisan action on this as they are already resentful about the lack of positive Congressional activity in the current economic climate.
    I think it has a reasonable chance of being passed, despite the usual flamboyant protestations…

    “We want to return the TARP money as soon as possible. We feel more bullish about economic prospects broadly, but we recognize we can’t repay the money without the approval of the regulators,” said Goldman Sachs spokesman Lucas Van Praag.”

Nearly three years into his administration and things are at least twice as bad as when he took office. Your clown was elected on the promises he made to correct a growing economic mess.

    Pretender? You’re silly. He was elected, fairly, by the American people. Sure, he hasn’t done a great job, but I’d put him up against Bachmann any day of the week. Anyway, I’m not comparing the two of them, but Bachmann doesn’t compare favorably to anyone, be it GOP or Dem. She couldn’t win even if she was the only person running. Nobody takes her seriously, she’s a novelty candidate. While I detest that swaggering moron Perry, I think he’d be a thousand times better with the republican nod than Bachmann, at least he’s done something.

    Allan Lichtman, the American University professor whose election formula has correctly called every president since Ronald Reagan’s 1984 re-election, has a belated birthday present for Barack Obama: Rest easy, your re-election is in the bag.
    “Even if I am being conservative, I don’t see how Obama can lose,” says Lichtman, the brains behind The Keys to the White House.
    Lichtman’s prediction helps to explain a quirk in some polling that finds that while Americans disapprove of the president, they still think he will win re-election. [Check out political cartoons about the 2012 GOP field.]
    Working for the president are several of Lichtman’s keys, tops among them incumbency and the scandal-free nature of his administration.Undermining his re-election is a lack of charisma and leadership on key issues, says Lichtman, even including healthcare, Obama’s crowning achievement.
    Lichtman developed his 13 Keys in 1981. They test the performance of the party that holds the presidency. If six or more of the 13 keys go against the party in power, then the opposing party wins.“The keys have figured into popular politics a bit,” Lichtman says. “They’ve never missed. They’ve been right seven elections in a row. A number that goes way beyond statistical significance in a record no other system even comes close to.”
    Lichtman’s earned quite the reputation. In 1992, it seemed likely former President George H.W. Bush would be re-elected, having reached historic highs in popularity after he launched a war that pushed Iraqi troops out of Kuwait. But Lichtman thought otherwise and that factored into former Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton’s decision to challenge Bush.“I got a call from this woman with a thick southern drawl. It was Clinton’s special assistant. She wanted to know if it was true that a Democrat could win. I assured her it was and I sent Clinton a copy of my book and a memo and the rest is history.” [See photos of the Obamas behind the scenes.]
    In 2005, Lichtman also hit a home run when he said that the political stage was looking so bad for Republicans that Democrats could pick a name out of the phone book and win in 2008, the year a little known first-term senator became the first African-American to win the presidency.
    Now Lichtman’s predicting a repeat performance by Obama.

    In order for real employment to remain steady, the US economy has to add over 100k jobs every month. This is necessary just to keep up with the growth of the working population. There hasn’t been a single month of Obama’s administration when this has happened and there have been few months in which new jobs outpaced new unemployment claims. I must be really dumb because I can’t figure out how this is positive job growth.

    Bachmann still thinks she can win the presidency but she won’t even make it to the convention. Her only piece of legislation for the US House is the “Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act”, you know because people didn’t have the freedom to choose which light bulbs they wanted to buy before. Her biggest political “win” recently is winning Ames but not only did she barely win but got, in total, like 5000 votes. She’s a LONG shot away from getting the millions of needed to win a presidential election.

    “Obama Is ‘Politically
    Paralyzed” – Gee I wonder WHO DID THAT? Perhaps the Republican Party who treated this presidency like Obama was big game and they were out for blood?”been tried and failed before” – Oh yeah, just like the EIGHT YEARS of trickle down economics which never worked and now they want to return to it under a different name and by the previous presidency that drove this economy into the ground with wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The military budget is large portion of the budget problem, yet they want to cut taxes. They still haven’t figured out that you can’t have it both ways. You can’t have “stuff” and not pay for it, nor can you cut your way to a balanced budget. Any economist worth his salt has looked at the numbers and agrees that a one method approach is impossible. They bitch because “Obama is doing nothing to create jobs” and then they bitch because “Obama isn’t doing enough”. I swear that if Obama could shoot rainbows out his butt, they would find something to bitch about that too.

    She always claims the stimulus was a failure which demonstrate a degree of ignorance or making the numbers self- fulfilling.  Based on the CBO numbers the stimulus saved or created 3.3 million jobs or reduced the the unemployment numbers by 1,8%. Now did we get the bang for our buck in my opinion yes.  The 1.8% does not include the residual fall out from a higher unemployment number e.g. pensions, stock market ect.

    This woman, in all the time she spent in the Minnesota senate and the U.S. house, has never written one piece of legislation.  She has spent her whole career obsessing about homosexuals (maybe because she’s married to one) and now refuses to discuss social issues and wants to be taken seriously on the economy.  Puh-leese.

    Bachmann needs to find a way to get the crazies back from Parry.

    Me thinks The oBUMbler is getting ready to go on tour doing stand up comedy when he leaves OUR White House in January 2013. Hell I might even pay for a few $5.00 front row tickets if he does a gig in a Comedy Club near me and my friends. He was so damn funny last night the way he nervously kept raising his voice and meekly trying to get anyone stupid enough to buy into his yada, yada, yada crap. Never have Americans tired of a President so quickly as we have with Bo Bummer.

    MB is so much better looking that SP.  Much hotter and far more intelligent.

    Bachmann is scary but not the scariest.  Of all the politicians, the Killer-in-Chief hopeful is the scariest.  NO ONE, NOT  EVEN THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS, SHOULD HAVE THE POWER TO HIDE INJUSTICE.  
    Rick Perry allowed an execution to proceed even after new evidence came to light that would likely prove the man was innocent.  After the State killed the man the State charged a committee with finding the truth.  Within days of the committee presenting its findings that were expected to show the man was not guilty Rick Perry halted the investigation!!!  

    Many convictions are being overturned because of DNA testing, someone lied to get easier sentences for themselves, or prosecutors withheld evidence such as in the New Orleans case where the prosecutors withheld the fact that the blood type at the crime scene was different from that of the man who spent decades in prison from the crime and was weeks from execution at one point.

    I appreciate your service.  I am the mother of a veteran and my group does everything we can to support our active and veteran heroes.  

    I did not see your original comment, and regardless of what party one belongs too we should be grateful that Mrs. Obama and Dr. Jill Biden are making support for military families a priority.

    Provide Links That Prove It…!!! Usually those of you who are against the death penalty for rapists, murders and child molestors are the same people who think abortion is A-OK. One can find you people clothed in PINK and hugging a tree…..

    What say you…

    Bachmann needs a teleprompter so she can look at the camera.
    Recent private sector job gains were negated by public sector job losses. I know some will say that any public sector job is wasted money, but that is not true when good teachers lose their jobs and when policemen and firefighters lose their jobs.
    Many of the policies in Obama’s speech were originally proposed by Republicans, and are valid.
    If anyone is paralized, it is Bachmann. She is paralized in her limited view of politics, economics, and frozen eyes.

    Wrong again. States may be laying off workers because they don’t have the tax base to support them since they can’t print money. If businesses were hiring, as you claim, the tax base would be growing. It’s not.

    DC, on the other hand, is in an economic boom due entirely to Obama’s spending. There are more public sector workers now than ever before and most of them make at least twice the wage of their private sector counterparts. Also, conservative states have better economies across the board than those that are more liberal. It’s amazing how quickly solid, sensible leadership can turn things around. Since WI put a tea party governor in charge, the economy is growing. Companies are fleeing IL and CA, and MI (the leftist dystopia) has an economy that can almost compete with those in developing countries – but not quite.

    You made up everything in you response. I’m sure it made sense to you, but nobody in possession of facts will agree.

    Obama, bush, rick perry is not the problem………I have looked at the problem and the problem is US.  Special interest have divided us into subgroups: conservative, liberal, republican, democrat, etc.  They are having a field day because they are winning.  What are they winning? Your assets and any economical future you may have.  FORECLOSURES, BANKRUPTCIES, UN – UNDEREMPLOYMENT, TAXES, INFLATION, SCAMS.  So instead of the bickering look at what could bring us together to find a common solution.  When the problem is obvious to everyone will agree to a solution.  The thing is that the special interest do not want you to become educated as to the real problem which is economic.  They are keeping you ignorant and continued bickering about secondary issues.  Find the main problem, research fractional reserve banking, the fed, treasury bonds, the subject of the income tax. and then lets do something about it.

  • Joolyo

    oh and by the way VOTE RON PAUL.  rick perry, mitt romney, backman, sarah palin believe in the same thing about monetary issue as obama.  Also anyone that agrees with the fractional reserve banking and the federal reserve are working against your interest.
