I see Bachmann is trying to walk this back now saying she's just speaking to a tea party group, that it's not necessarily a response to the SOTU. Of course it't not. It's just a coincidence she's giving it the same night as the SOTU. Nice try.
Was reading on another site that Gov. Christie of NJ had been asked to give the Republican response.
If Congressman Bachmann made her decision in response to that request I agree with her decision.
To deflect attention from Ryan and on to herself is a selfish idea. She could have waited a day.
You know that the “official Republican Party resposnse will just be idiotic politics.
I think the citizens will be much more inclined to want to hear Bachmanns reply then some tired old canned political response.
