In today's issue of the Des Moines Register, Ron Carey, former chief of staff to Michele Bachmann, says that she isn't ready for the White House. He also endorsed one of her rivals for the GOP nomination:
Having seen the two of them, up close and over a long period of time, it is clear to me that while Tim Pawlenty possesses the judgment, the demeanor, and the readiness to serve as president, Michele Bachmann decidedly does not.Does anyone else find that to be a notably weak takedown? It's never a good thing when someone who has observed you closely votes "no confidence," so file that away for what it's worth. But the particulars of this op-ed? Think about it. What does a good leader do when folks in the office are getting behind on the mail and correspondence? I'd say that hiring a new chief of staff is an acceptable answer. Sounds like that's what Rep. Bachmann did. I could write a better takedown of former colleagues who I found to be totally wonderful and qualified in every way!
The Bachmann campaign and congressional offices I inherited were wildly out of control. Stacks upon stacks of unopened contributions filled the campaign office while thousands of communications from citizens waited for an answer. 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?

Once I got to the Timmy part I started ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ YAWN,
Why would anyone hire a staffer, who did a hit piece on his former employer?
guess “former” means nothing to this author...
Sounds like this guy must have been fired for being incompetent.
The Tim Pawlenty he’s endorsing; is that the Tim Pawlenty who was a stud on a Sunday morning cable news show calling it “Obamney Care” but pissed his pants and quivered like a little girl when he was 10 feet away from Romney the next night in the Debate? That little pu**y Pawlenty? Is that the one he’s endorsing?
I mean, what could go wrong?
A T-Paw sock puppet emerges so soon?
And yet we celebrate in these 57 states, the Genius Sockpuppet O-Nuance’!
It didn't seem to stop the last president we elected.
Yay, back to BDS!
Weeellll, that tactic worked very well in 2008.
So why not give it shot in ‘12?
Bachmann attacked Gov. Palin through Rollins,
and now who cares?
Karma keeps running over the Bachmann dogma.
Any public apology to Gov. Palin yet, Michele?
Good heavens , she is only in her 3rd term as a Congress person and has no executive experience and was a lawyer for the IRS before. This guy is right and do we want a republican version of Obama? I will give her this , she’s right on the issues but can she get any of her ideas through Congress. In her years in MN state leg. and Congress she has never passed a bill of her own.
declare she's a reform muslim who converted to another religion that she really don't attend services.....then claim she's a constitutional lawyer who taught and really didn't but lost her license because of irregularities....then produce a fake birth certificate after two years of request for original....then claim your offended by your middle name,but be sure to include it in your oath of office...then associate yourself with radicals, preferably one who can write a book you can claim you wrote...shall we continue?
Is there a ‘Run By’ Date now for candidates? wow. lol
You got that. Obama wasn't even ready to run a popcorn stand, yet he got elected to the highest office in the land. Bachmann could hardly be less prepared than Obama.
3rd term and 5 Chiefs of Staff....I see a problem
