In life we often run into people and situations that remind us we are a far from perfect people. Michele Bachmann is running for President of the United States, which is an admirable thing to do. At least she is willing to step up and express her positions on the problems in this country.
For example, unemployment: ''If we took away the minimum wage -- if conceivably it was gone -- we could potentially virtually wipe out unemployment completely because we would be able to offer jobs at whatever level.''—Michele Bachmann, Jan. 2005
Maybe we could reinstate sweatshops too. No unemployment, just everyone working for $2.00 per hour.
She has a good grasp on environmental issues too: ''Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas.’’ —Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) in April 2009
She does admire strong female heros: ''Lady Liberty and Sarah Palin are lit by the same torch.''—Rep. Michele Bachmann, in a recorded message for a campaign event hosted by Sarah Palin to support Alaska Senate candidate Joe Miller, Oct. 28, 2010
And she is good with fiscal accounting: ''The President of the United States will be taking a trip over to India that is expected to cost the taxpayers $200 million a day.''—Rep. Michele Bachmann, grossly exaggerating the expense of Obama's trip, which cost a fraction of that ($200 million is more than the entire war in Afghanistan costs per day), Nov. 3, 2010
You just can’t make these things up. Wish it was fiction. Just Say’n
