Here is what she said:

“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,” Bachmann said on Jay Sekulow’s radio show.”

I guess it is a gaffe to make the observation that people fear Western Civilization is in decline. In fact, it has been in decline since 1914. She’s not supposed to say that.

Are you in fear of the rise of the Soviet Union? Does that keep you up nights?

Really?

"...the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward...”

Gaffe within a gaffe. ...our loss militarily... doesn't make sense. Does she mean our decline, erosion, deterioration?

Loss doesn't fit, and then going forward is a buzz word redundancy.

The GOP Presidential Candidate must be better than Obama off the teleprompter. And Michelle is not clearly so.
