This woman is an egomaniac and a bomb thrower. Period. She’s a backbencher with less experience than Obama had when he ran for president. The American public isn’t going to make the same mistake twice and vote for such a person.

Bachmann is a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, a supporter of the Tea Party movement and a founder of the House Tea Party Caucus. Bachmann earned a Master of Laws degree, worked as a tax attorney, opposed the bailouts, opposes Obamacare, wants to repeal Dodd-Frank reform law...

You may want to do your homework.

That's not executive experience of any kind and she has never won a state wide election. She's jumping the gun and running too soon. And the odds are NOT in her favor.

House Members Who Became President or Presidential Candidates*

Only Henry Clay (1824), James A. Garfield (1880), and John Anderson (1980) ran for President in the general election as sitting House Members. In Garfield’s case, the only successful instance of a sitting Representative becoming President, he had already been elected by the Ohio legislature to the U.S. Senate. Anderson ran as an independent challenger, and Clay’s candidacy predated the rise of the modern two-party system.
