Bachmann: Obama trip was 'shameful'
@ 3:18 pm by Eric Zimmermann


Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) blasted President Obama on Thursday, arguing that Obama's conduct on his trip to Europe and the Middle East was "shameful."

In an interview with KSFO-AM, Bachmann said Obama had "apologiz{ed} for American activity" to foreign audiences. "I thought it was a very sad reflection and perhaps a true reflection on what our President feels about these issues," Bachmann added.

The Minnesota conservative also accused the president of lying about whether he had bowed to King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. Bachmann said it was "highly symbolic" that Obama bowed, adding that he has been "denying it and then lying about it."

Bachmann also lashed out at the President for proposing nuclear disarmament and possibly scaling back on missile defense. Obama is "putting the safety of the American citizens at risk," the congresswoman said.

You can listen to Bachmann's full interview below. Her comments regarding Obama's trip begin at the 2 minute mark.

1. I would be concerned if she supported him. She surpassed "asshatedness" last Tuesday.

20. KSFO is a hell hole of conservative wingnuts in Liberal San Francisco.....
They did have the sense to fire Michael Wiener Savage though.

She was one the the leaders it that crappy Astroturf® pro-troop, pro-Iraq war group,'Move America Forward' (MAF). She also spearheaded the 'You Don't Speak for Me, Cindy!' tour and the campaign to recall Governor Gray Davis.

13. Because she's a fanatic. And as such, she's a symbol of what's left
of the Republican party, credibility-wise. Bachmann, Palin, Rush and O'Reilly are constant reminders of the values the GOP actually stands for these days.

I say, bring it on, Bachmann & Co! Parade your insanities in front of an international audience, and lay it on thick so that even the last rational person gets the picture, finally.

28. Exactly!
Some say Limbaugh, Bachmann, and their ilk should be silenced. I say no! I want every American to hear every single word these crazy loons say! I notice the popularity of the Limbaugh Party is now at the lowest point in the history of polling on the question. It can and will go still lower, as long as we keep publicizing the incredible ravings of these out-of-control wackos.

The downside: As the few remaining moderates and thinking people leave the republican party behind, those remaining, though of dwindling numbers, represent a concentration of dangerous, violent ignorance and stupidity (think Hannity and Beck) that can cause serious mischief for us real Americans to bemoan (and deal with).

The upside: The average age of the Fox "News" viewer is 67. The crazy right will lose quite a few supporters on this very day (RIP), and on every day for the foreseeable future. American youth overwhelmingly favor progressive positions on all issues. Do the math. We're going to win.

37. Hey, don't blame it on our whole state! One district, and only about 40% of that district.
There was a 3rd party spoiler candidate in that race -- more people voted for the 2 other guys than voted for her.

The problem is the religiously insane, lots of them in that district.

45. Agree. It is hard to think how she could be more clueless, and I'm left to
ask what the fools in her district who voted for her were thinking in their decision to return her to Congress, and wonder also what the protocol is for IM Haldol in Congressional representatives for whom the real world is no longer a place they have a map to.
