“...Boehner is a good guy and we don’t need internecine battles among Republicans, which is what Gregory was so obviously trying to start...”

No Boehner is NOT good guy - he’a a weak “guy” and needs to be removed NOW.
IT’S TIME TO HAVE A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ABOUT BOEHNER.
We are losing every day that wimp-Boeghner is in charge.
Time is NOT on our side with BOEHNER at the helm.

Rush’s interview with MB in a recent Limbaugh Letter was just great. She came across as strong as steel and I would support her possible prez run just as strong as I would support one by Sarah.

Well, I have absolutely zero use for David Gregory and regularly e-mail MTP about his antics and biases. However, Michelle Bachman’s performance on MTP this morning was awful and embarrassing. She looked like a same old/same old politician....repeatedly never answered the questions being asked of her and kept going back to her $105 billion as the statement for everything being asked of her. No straight talk, whatsoever. It was a real disappointment.

My take on it was about 1/2 way between those cheering her on and yours. It was good, but it was unneccesarily adversarial. It's not good to talk past the person asking you questions. She actually did *much* better once she got off the $105 billion talking point.

She has been ambushed by NBC before, so I understand where she's coming from, but I don't think she handled it as well as she could have.

Anyone who gets media training is taught the technique of answering the question you want to, not the one she asked. But, there is a way to do it that doesn't slap the host and the viewer in the face, repeatedly.

Bringing the card with her number on it was just cheesy, too.

I think a problem with Michelle, like Sarah, is that she only appeals to the base. I'll have to talk to my Mom (78) who is a loyal MTP viewer and get her take, but I doubt it will be positive.

Despite the interview she is my favorite Presidential hopeful at this point, I really hope she decides to go for it.

I beg to differ. Boehner is not everyone’s cup of tea and he’s not perfect. He may seem bland and slow moving compared to some of the more fiery reps like Michele.

But his shortcomings fall far short of meeting the criteria for doing what you suggest.

We need all the Republicans in the House and Senate to have a united front. The battle you suggest would leave casualties we can’t afford to lose.

Until and unless Boehner does something horrible and I don’t think he will ... in fact I think we need someone like him as speaker ... your idea is preposterous.

I saw that interview and, although I like her, I didn’t think she handled those questions very well. She was asked specific questions about defunding health care, the EPA and Planned Parenthood. Her responses hinted that she wasn’t comfortable with those issues, almost as if she didn’t know what was meant by the terms “EPA” and “Planned Parenthood.” I am sufficiently familiar with her to know that she probably understands more than she let on. Maybe she’s not sure how Tea Party voters feel about the EPA and Planned Parenthood.

I swear the enemies of America who control the Whitehouse will not put up with Michelle Bachmann, she is actually more of a threat than Sarah Palin.

This is one person who really needs the very best in security.

Michelle was just on Hannity talking about this. She said the leadership would have a meeting tomorrow on the money and the administration should be made to give the money back. I think she meant the Republicans shouldn't agree to another extension unless this is removed.

I guess the bill has all been declared unconstitutional anyway unless Obama appeals and wins in the Supreme Court.
