U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R.-Minn., at the Conservative Political Action conference Feb. 10 in DC
Short background of Bachmann for those who don’t know her already.... this from the Post Gazette itself
________________________________________________________________________________
Born in Iowa — a fact she is fond of mentioning on the stump in the first presidential caucus state — Ms. Bachmann moved to Minnesota when she was young. Her pre-political life has three critical planks. First, Ms. Bachmann was a tax attorney, giving her broadsides against the American tax system intellectual heft.
In addition, she and husband Marcus own a Christian mental health practice, allowing her to speak from the perspective of the “small business owner.” At Wednesday’s rally, she used it to demean the president’s background in community organizing. “You try to make a profit, President Obama, I don’t think you have before,” she cried, to cheers.
And perhaps most spectacularly, Ms. Bachmann has been a mother to five children and foster mother to 23 more. “That’s a lot of pasta,” she quipped Wednesday.
If Sarah Palin was Everymom, Michele Bachmann is Supermom.
The two are often compared, but their political rises have followed different trajectories. Ms. Palin was an executive as a mayor and then governor of Alaska. Ms. Bachmann was a legislator, winning election to the Minnesota state Senate in 2000 then Congress in 2006.
In both bodies she clashed with her party’s leadership. She was stripped of a GOP leadership post in Saint Paul amid disputes over abortion and tax policy. In Washington she has nurtured a power base outside the Republican leadership by founding the Tea Party Caucus, and she even gave a nationally televised “tea party response” to Mr. Obama’s State of the Union Address that stole considerable thunder from the official Republican response.
Looking at that picture she looks every bit 55
born April 6, 1956 in Waterloo, IA (Meets the Jus Soli Requirement)
Parents were
David John Amble, born in MN
Jean Johnson, born in IA
Both parents were US Citizens at the time of her birth (Meets the Jus sanguinis Requirement)
Michele Bachmann is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama.
In my opinion MB is not electable, she would not even carry her own state.
Most likely at Sarah Palin's expense.
