Michele Bachmann Runs Away From Reporter

Michele Bachmann has been uncharacteristically quiet since her razor-thin reelection last November, but she emerged loud and proud at CPAC this past weekend to preach to the faithful. Bachmann’s speech focused on the Benghazi attack, but also on the lavish lifestyle enjoyed by President Obama, claiming the first family costs taxpayers $1.4 billion a year in “perks and excess.”

But it won’t come as much of a shock to any Bachmannphile to learn that some of the claims she made in the speech are the opposite of true. It turns out they’re mostly based on a self-published book with few citations written by a longtime Republican lobbyist whom the New York Times once compared to Darth Vader.

What a nutcase. Embarrassing.

This piece of crap article is from Salon--an extreme leftist rag. The Obamas do cost the US Taxpayer 1.4 billion per year to maintain their lifestyle, and if pointing it out to the public makes you a "nut case" then we need MORE NUTS!!!! Considering the smear job that the leftist media always does to Conservative women I would run from them too. Obama refuses to go on Fox, where is the outrage about that libs?

um 9:18 how about going back and looking up the facts yourself. Bachman is well-known for spewing crud. Thats not a "leftie" statement. There are several articles that tear down the statements she made at CPAC using FACTS, not personal attacks. The only nutjobs are those that push these partisan narratives from either side without any regards to the facts or the context surrounding the issue.

I find it hard to believe there are people blind enough to not see that this President and his family are abusing the taxpayers. If anyone tries to defend this Presidents lavish lfestyle they are completly ignorant of the facts.

Please keep her in the news. It's hilarious.

She's another reason why GOP can't win an election.

Even Bill O'Reilly took her to task on Fox News last night for spreading absolute falsehoods about the Obama "lavish" lifestyle. Of course, that's what you do when you have no contribution toward fixing the real problems this nation faces.

Bachmann never lets the real facts get in her way. Like the fact that the Obama's actually have spent a little less than the Bush's over the years

But the Bush's were there for 8 years. The o bammy's are only 4 years in. What will it look like at the end of their disaterous reign?
