Bachmann: Obama Was ‘Condescending and Patronizing’ to Me

Outgoing congresswoman Michele Bachmann sat down with Bill O’Reilly tonight to elaborate on her Christmas party chat with President Obama, and claimed that the president was “condescending and patronizing” to her.

In a recent interview with the Washington Free Beacon, Bachmann said she told Obama during the party about how seriously she hopes he takes the threat from Iran. She explained to O’Reilly tonight that she took this opportunity because it was her last chance to say something to the president as a member of Congress (albeit with her family in tow).

And as Bachmann recounts, Obama wasn’t exactly receptive to what she said:

“The president smiled, and he was fairly condescending and patronizing and said, ‘Well, it’s not quite that easy, Michele. But that’s okay,’ like I’m just, you know, an idiot and I don’t know anything.”

She emphasized how important it is for Obama to act on Iran to stop them from obtaining a nuclear weapon, and then they said “Merry Christmas” and parted ways.
