Protesters Anger Bachmann, She Blames Obama

[William769]

Occupy Iowa protesters took on Republican presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann's campaign headquarters on Saturday and several ended up in police custody. According to Russell Goldman of ABC News, ten of the protesters were arrested, including a 14-year-old girl. Bachmann suggested that the protesters "had come at the behest of President Obama."

“The people outside are President Obama’s re-election advance team. That’s what you’re seeing outside. What they recognize is that I’m the greatest threat to Barack Obama’s re-election and I intend to be,” Bachmann told reporters outside her office. She's busy preparing for Tuesday’s Iowa caucus, the nation's first.

1. We all should pray that Michele Bachmann can find her mind

because it is apparent that she has lost it.


“The people outside are President Obama’s re-election advance team. That’s what you’re seeing outside. What they recognize is that I’m the greatest threat to Barack Obama’s re-election and I intend to be,”
Poor Michele, she has listened to the voices too long

[William769]

6. "she has listened to the voices too long"

[Angry Dragon]

14. I am glad you liked that

[rustydog]

8. Can you picture her waking every morning, looking around the house:

"Honey, HONEY!!!, have you seen my sense of reason? I can't seem to find it."
"And where in HELL is my GODDAMN happy outlook on life!"

[customerserviceguy]

18. He'd tell her to look in the closet

She'd find a lot of things that she's been missing in there.

20. Marcus check the Rainbow room

[Confusious]

24. No, it's the same Republican delusion

5 people who show up to agree with you = the entire United States

100,000 who show up to disagree with you = disaffected rabble, who don't speak for the rest of the United States.

[RebelOne]

26. She does not have a prayer of being nominated

as a presidential candidate.

[Angry Dragon]

28. But her god told her to run

[Lifelong Protester]

2. We come at the behest of democracy. Get a clue.

Oh, sorry, she's all out of clues. Or any cash to buy one.

[Burgman]

3. Wow. You can't make this crap up.

[Politicalboi]

4. OMG she's on to us

She IS the "greatest threat" to Obama.

[Siwsan]

5. She's President Obama's greatest threat?????

I want what medication she's on. And plenty of it. Then I can believe I am George Clooney's dream woman and some day he will find me.

[Enrique]

7. Bachmann being a lyin'-ass bad person again

she doesn't really think Obama had anything to do with it.

Isn't that known as "bearing false witness", you hypocrite? (Bachmann, not the OP, in case that isn't clear)

[LiberalAndProud]

19. There is another possible explanation.

Because individuals with Paranoid Personality Disorder lack trust in others, they have an excessive need to be self-sufficient and a strong sense of autonomy. They also need to have a high degree of control over those around them. They are often rigid, critical of others, and unable to collaborate, and they have great difficulty accepting criticism.

9. Santa forgot to bring her the roll of tinfoil she asked for.

Santa is a cruel man.

[whathehell]

10. Sure, because the Dems have been "warring" against Christmas!

[Wait Wut]

13. I never thought of that before.

Santa is a Democrat!! That explains the flying reindeer and all those freeloading elves!

[whathehell]

22. and the red suit!

[iemitsu]

25. the elves work hard.

and many would say were under-compensated.

[Wait Wut]

29. Bull.

Anyone that happy at their job is NOT working hard. Plus, they only have to work a few days each year. I also hear they have a dentist ON STAFF.

[Jack Rabbit]

11. I'd like to see her back that up with some facts

The people outside are President Obama’s re-election advance team.

I’m the greatest threat to Barack Obama’s re-election (.)

[MineralMan]

12. Once she drops out of the race for the nomination,

she becomes Minnesota's problem again, and we're not looking forward to that one bit. Will she run again for her House seat? Well, the redistricting isn't going to be kind to her, actually, and she might just not win. She hasn't voted on anything in the House for a while, and her constituents are a bit squirmy about the fact that she hasn't been around much at all. But, if she doesn't do that, what the heck will she do? Run against Amy Klobuchar for the Senate? Well, that's a losing battle for her.

What will she do? That's what we'll be hearing about once she drops out, which I expect after Iowa. At least she's out of the state while she's running. And good riddance to her!

[ChairmanAgnostic]

16. Abscess makes the Art grow flounder.

[oldhippydude]

17. what will she do?

have her biography ghost written, work for either Fokkks or CBN... perhaps play on the grift circuit of the faith industry.. or maybe a teaching position at her alma mater

[jberryhill]

23. I had the privilege of briefly speaking with Sen Klobuchar last month

And there are few people who come across as as bright and good natured as she does.

[MineralMan]

34. She's not the most progressive Senator we have,

certainly, but she has broad support in Minnesota. I can't imagine anyone beating her in 2012. Most of the time, she votes well. Occasionally, I think she makes an error. I've talked to her several times. It's impossible not to like her in person. A very engaging person.

[Wait Wut]

30. I don't like what I'm reading between the lines here, MM.

It sounds like you want her to win the Presidency so we can't give her back to you. Look, we had to take McCain back, so no whining from you.

[MineralMan]

32. No. I want her to keep running so she stays the hell

out of Minnesota.

[Wait Wut]

35. She has to stop running some time.

There's only so much oxygen left in that little brain of hers. She's gonna use it all up and drop dead.

[MineralMan]

36. I'm sure her brain operates anaerobically.

You've heard of the lizard brain, of course. It needs little oxygen, I understand.

[Wait Wut]

37. LOL!

Now I need someone to Photoshop Bachmann onto a lizard!

[one_voice]

15. Michele Bachmann is...

delusional. It would be a gift to Obama is she got the GOP nomination. Obama wouldn't have to show up to the debates and he's still win in a landslide.

[Ship of Fools]

21. Now THERE'S a legend in her own mind.

[Tx4obama]

27. As I said yesterday ....

at the bottom of this OP: http://www.democraticunderground.com/100297449

[The Genealogist]

31. Her ego is nearly as big as Newton's is

Mao Tse Bachmann thinks Obama is scared of her, or even cares about her. I would have a hard time believing that Obama wastes time even thinking about her, except maybe to laugh about her absurdities, or to think over how many red states would go blue in November if she were the nominee. Takes a mighty big ego to so grossly inflate one's self importance as has Bachmann in this case.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. Tell me what democracy looks like

this is what democracy looks like...

And this is what scares people like Michelle Bachmann
