(NewsCore) - COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Minnesota congresswoman and 2012 presidential candidate Michele Bachmann left some listeners scratching their heads Thursday when she said during a radio show interview that the US was in danger of being eclipsed by the Soviet Union.
Bachmann made the remark during an appearance on the Jay Sekulow radio show while campaigning in South Carolina.
"It really is about jobs and the economy," Bachmann said when asked what was on the minds of American voters she met on the trail.
"But what people recognize is that there's a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline. They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward."
The Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991 at the end of the Cold War.

You can't be serious...??????
I YI YI.
Not ready for prime time. She’s our Biden.
Journ0lists and Tina Fey had to lie about Sarah Palin, but Bachmann gives them material straight from her mouth.
Well, gutsy. CONSERVATIVES don't win anything with the election of Romney and the jury is still out on the unvetted Perry's conservative Tea Party credentials.
In case you haven't heard, there will be absolutely NO campaigning for Romney on this forum and that order comes from Jim Robinson.
Governor Sarah Palin is not a light weight. She is the only thoroughly vetted and totally Tea Party credentailed *possible* candidate our side has going for it. Run, Sarah, Run!
So when he reconstitutes the majority of states that formed the former Soviet Union, he’ll call it a different name and run it as a dictator. What element of “communism” are you so proud he’d leave out?
Perhaps you could evaluate in terms of WIN FIRST, perfection second!!!!
It doesn’t matter which lane you’re in, if you don’t make it through the intersection!
Either it shows she's a flake or it shows her staff is incompetent and, by extension, she is too. Maybe it's her migraines. /s
I'm getting there myself. I thought her Conservative views and willingness to stand up for them would make up for her inexperience, but she needs to stop these gaffes NOW.
If she can't, then I'm glad we found out sooner rather than later.
