Ron Carey, one of the six chiefs of staff Ms. Bachmann has had since coming to Congress less than five years ago, penned an article with the headline: “Bachmann is so not ready for the presidency"
Mr. Carey, who helped elect Ms. Bachmann to Congress in 2006 and 2008, called her campaign and congressional offices “wildly out of control. Unopened campaign donations littered her office and thousands of her constituents’ emails and letters went unanswered,” he wrote.
“If she is unable, or unwilling, to handle the basic duties of a campaign or congressional office, how could she possibly manage the magnitude of the presidency?” Mr. Carey asks in the op-ed.
“I know Michele Bachmann very well,” Mr. Carey concludes his op-ed. “She is a faithful conservative with great oratory skills, but without any leadership experience or real results from her years in office. She is not prepared to assume the White House in 2013.”
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness. John Kenneth Galbraith

She has accomplished a lot more than the community organizer ever did before he ran for President.
She has??? What? Get elected??? What has she accomplished?

Yes, what has she accomplished? How many LAWS or REGULATIONS has she proposed? How many NEW government programs has she created? We all know that the measurement of a legislator is how much legislation they added and sign on to. The one thing Bachmann has done that I can agree with, is that she is actually campaigning on REPEALING a law. We need candidates that are going to REPEAL unnecessary and unconstitutional legislation.

I guess Cicero couldn't think of anything that Bachmann has accomplished either.

For one she actually votes on bills instead of voting present like Obama did. She's a tax laywer.
A tax lawyer? IS that really an accomplishment?
Michelle Bachmann: ~ Did not vote, ~ was Absent, ~ or voted "Present" 183 times.

She's fairly uninformed and has already (forgot the minor gaffs) shown she is more fluff than substance. I admire that she has fostered so many children and genuinely seems to care, but that ain't gonna get this country back on track. i do not find any bills that seem to be authored by her, (but maybe I just didn't find them). I am desperately wanting to vote for some, anyone, that is actually going to cut wasteful spending and useless programs; stop making the US the World's guardian of evil; stand up to foreign conuntries;protect our futures and kick start this economy back into dominance.........that person shows up and gives me 25% of what I want, they have my vote!
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
Let's not forget that Obama thinks we have 57 states. You ignore his stupid remarks but when it's a conservative gaff the libs go nuts. 1April 21, 2009: After receiving a heart-felt letter from Michael Powers, who criticized the president for his smoking habit, Obama hand-writes a response, "Michael -- Thanks so much for the wonderful letter, and the good advise ... " missspelled advice 2jabs at Special Olympics on Whirlwind TV Tour March 19, 2009: During a taping of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno," Obama jokes about his miserable bowling skills, which were on display during his campaign battle with Hillary Clinton when he attempted to win voters in the Midwest by showcasing his skills at a blue-collar bowling alley and famously throwing gutter-ball after gutter-ball. Obama tells Leno he has been working on his form by practicing in the White House's basement bowling alley. Unfortunately, all he says all he can muster is a paltry 129.
"It's like -- it was like Special Olympics or something," Obama says. 3 January to February, 2009: Over a three-week period, Obama selects no fewer than five cabinet selections who are each revealed to have legal problems. Obama gets lucky with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, but is not so lucky with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, whose late payments to the IRS raise questions and threaten to derail his confirmation. Meanwhile, the president's other nominees -- all Democrats -- proceed to fall like dominoes. Gov. Bill Richardson withdraws as commerce secretary nominee in the wake of a legal inquiry. Former Sen. Tom Daschle (Health and Human Services), Rep. Hilda Solis (Labor) and Nancy Killefer (Budget and Spending reform) all withdraw because of tax problems. 4 Jan. 20 to July 20, 2009: Whether it's brief introductory remarks or drawn-out policy speeches, Obama doesn't go anywhere without his TelePrompter. On several occasions, his reliance on it results in some embarrassing moments, such as April 27, 2009, when, speaking to scientists at the National Academy of Sciences, Obama's TelePrompter soars ahead of him and loses the president altogether. To regain his place, he is forced to completely stop his speech until it's rolled back. On July 13, 2009 his TelePrompter completely falls apart and shatters on the floor as he delivers a speech on the economy at the White House. His continued use of the device prompts some in the media to dub him the "TelePrompter-In-Chief." Off-camera, of course!
Let's not forget that Obama thinks we have 57 states.!
Just when was that 57 state statement??? 2007-2008? something like that. Obama is a disaster for the comedians on this board... not much to work with. They miss George Worst Bush... Bushy'd knock em dead at least once a week!

Here's a few more Box. "We're not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success that's fairly earned. I mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money. But, you know, part of the American way is, you know, you can just keep on making it if you're providing a good product or providing good service. We don’t want people to stop, ah, fulfilling the core responsibilities of the financial system to help grow our economy." —on Wall Street reform, Quincy, Ill., April 29, 2010

There's a lot of -- I don't know what the term is in Austrian, wheeling and dealing." --confusing German for "Austrian," a language which does not exist, Strasbourg, France, April 6, 2009
"What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith..." --in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying "your Christian faith," which Obama quickly clarified (Watch video clip)
Michelle Bachman is a total moron. I cannot believe anybody on this board would support her. You Reps/Cons have got to be smarter than that--Boxy as usual gets it right.
