Michele Bachmann: Hillary Clinton Should Be Disqualified From The Presidency

[hue]

Source: HuffPost

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) roused a sleepy gathering of social conservatives on Friday with a spirited speech railing against Hillary Clinton, whose record at the State Department "should disqualify her from ever being considered for the presidency."

"Hillary Clinton reinforces daily to the American people that she is not commander in chief material. She fails to inspire confidence in practically anything that she's touched," Bachmann said at the Road to Majority Conference, an annual gathering sponsored by the Faith and Freedom Coalition.

"Mrs. Clinton has to explain to the American people why she repeatedly ignored request after request for increased security in the Benghazi mission compound. She has to explain to the American people why, when Americans were under attack, she failed to pick up the phone and call the commander in chief and demand he send in reinforcements to rescue our brave Americans on the ground," she added.

The former GOP presidential candidate claimed that Clinton, who is considering a run for president in 2016, bungled a recent interview with Fox News about the involvement of Ahmed Abu Khattala, a suspect in the Benghazi attacks who Bachmann said was "weirdly picked up" by U.S. forces last weekend.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

4. Well, that's easily testable at the ballot box.

The American public can decide for themselves if her 'record at the State Department' disqualifies her.

[Warpy]

8. Why isn't that cretin in prison yet?

Doesn't she remember voting against extra funding for beefed up security in unstable countries?

[Botany]

13. Facts matter little to Bachmann, Cruz, Issa, and so on ...

.... because once they have started w/a story line they will stick w/it.

Of course the republican congress voted to cut funds for embassy and diplomatic
outposts but why bother w/the facts?

notice the repugs didn't even show
up for this ass kicking.

[think]

33. Grayson drills down hard! Hillary supporters might like that one....

Thank you for posting. Had not seen that.

Someone should send her some LEGGOS for her new dream house.

[sakabatou]

[Rosa Luxemburg]

45. Bachmann is unhinged

[kardonb]

21. MB

[hamsterjill]

22. Fear is a powerful emotion.

They are in fear of Hillary. And it shows!!! LOL

[mac56]

23. Nuttier than squirrel turds.

[wryter2000]

25. That's that, then

Toss in the towel. The person who knows the most about not being qualified to be president has spoken.

[SheilaT]

27. ahh, jeez.

While I am absolutely not a fan of Hillary Clinton and do not want to see her running in two years, Bachman is so totally wrong in her reasoning that it doesn't bear being paid any attention to.

[WinstonSmith4740]

28. Let's face facts...

Hillary simply doesn't rise to the level of crazy or stupid that Michele Bachmann (Lunatic Fringe-Minn)considers necessary.

[OneCrazyDiamond]

29. Oh I thought it was birtherism 2.0.

I am still sure Michelle doesn't know Chicago is in the US of A, and Hillary a natural born citizen.

[benld74]

30. ANd she said this while on her broom?

[niyad]

36. please do not insult witches.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

31. And you should be disqualified from the human race Michelle

[alp227]

32. She got herself disqualified 3 years ago. Who's she to judge other candidates? nt

[truthisfreedom]

34. Michele, shouldn't you be focused on your

illegal campaign behavior and praying your husband's gay away, and maybe picking up a few more foster children to help defray the cost of living with no job once you quit your gubbmint job like Sarah "failin'"Palin did?

[SoapBox]

35. Fuck Off, Idiot.

[jimlup]

37. These folks don't live in the same universe do they?

We don't share the same reality. Bachmann is certifiable.

[EEO]

38. Oh, the irony.

She lacks rudimentary understanding of American history. Apparently New Hampshire is where the "shot heard around the world" happened. Oh, and she is legitimately insane.

[Jack Rabbit]

39. Hey. Michele -- how's the fitting for the orange jumpsuit coming?

So, Mrs. Bachmann thinks Hilary Clinton isn't commander-in-chief material. That is the most ironic statement I've heard since . . .
well, earlier in the week when Dick Cheney said of President Obama, "Rarely has a U.S. president been so wrong about so much at the expense of so many,"

[RoverSuswade]

41. Skinner, please ban Michele Bachmann's picture from DU

before it literally KILLS women,
KILLS senior citizens,
KILLS children

[davidpdx]

42. Bachbat's lack of a brain should disqualify her from being human

[The Wizard]

43. Does anyone know

the jurisdictions where Bachmann is licensed to practice law?

[CBHagman]

46. I know she's just throwing red meat to the base but her repeating that claim about U.S. forces...

...somehow being able to get to Benghazi in time in the midst of chaos, confusion, and an evolving mission is just irresponsible. The appropriate forces and equipment were some distance away, and aside from the time-space factors there was no guarantee they'd have been able to intervene in time. It is also possible there would have been additional casualties.

General Carter Ham answered this question recently on NPR's Morning Edition.

[url]http://www.npr.org/2014/05/08/310630813/u-s-team-to-assist-nigeria-in-locating-kidnapped-school-girls?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=morningedition&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20140508[/url]

HAM: Well, as I think back about that event as it was unfolding, we did respond. And as I have, and as others have stated to the accountability review board, to a number of congressional groups both in public and in private hearings, forces were put into motion. But the nature of the mission changed over time and we certainly were working against very significant time-distance factors.

INSKEEP: Meaning that a lot of the troops you were talking about were outside...

HAM: That's right. Mostly Europe-based and you're talking a matter of several hours to get to Libya during that timeframe in a situation that, at least the initial attack, began and then largely subsided over about an hour. So not much time to respond very quickly. But the good news is, I think, after - one of the lessons learned from the attacks on Benghazi was to provide more forces to the current commander of Africa command and have a better response capability for instances in the future.

But certainly not right now sufficient forces postured to be able to respond to any diplomatic facility across the vast African continent in a short period of time.

49. Michelle Bachmann should be disqualified from politics altogether

She hasn't done anything of importance so far during her entire political career.

[zonkers]

51. If life wasn't breathed into a" non"story like this by "Dem" websites, would it even be news?

I don't think so.

[Demeter]

52. Unfortunately, Not Even a Loser Like Michele can be "Disqualified"

prior to the trial by election....

[B Calm]

53. She should stick to her full time job, keeping a keen eye on her husband and hîs gay tendencies!

[marble falls]

54. Isn't Bachmann on the road to an indictment?
