far left? obama has done as other dem presidents before hime-move to the middle. his continuation of many bush policies also indicates he's far from left wing. his first two years in office left many dems very unhappy with him, and his lack of true change-which is what he ran on. when you attempt to please everyone, you end up pleasing no one. i don't think many are happy with him at all-but many still think he's better than an alternative.

Michele Bachmann, the Republican presidential candidate, signed a Christian conservative pledge that stated that African American children were more likely to grow up in stable families during the era of slavery than under President Barack Obama. The controversial linkage of slavery to family values was made in the preamble to a pro-traditional marriage pledge given to White House contenders by The Family Value, a group in the first-voting state of Iowa, where Mrs Bachmann is the joint Republican front runner. "Slavery had a disastrous impact on African-American families, yet sadly a child born into slavery in 1860 was more likely to be raised by his mother and father in a two-parent household than was an African-American baby born after the election of the USA's first African-American President," the opening statement introducing the pledge read.

Michele Bachmann's Holy WarThe Tea Party contender may seem like a goofball, but be warned: Her presidential campaign is no laughing matter By Matt Taibbi June 22, 2011 8:00 AM ET Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and, as you consider the career and future presidential prospects of an incredible American phenomenon named Michele Bachmann, do one more thing. Don't laugh. It may be the hardest thing you ever do, for Michele Bachmann is almost certainly the funniest thing that has ever happened to American presidential politics. Fans of obscure 1970s television may remember a short-lived children's show called Far Out Space Nuts, in which a pair of dimwitted NASA repairmen, one of whom is played by Bob (Gilligan) Denver, accidentally send themselves into space by pressing "launch" instead of "lunch" inside a capsule they were fixing at Cape Canaveral. This plot device roughly approximates the political and cultural mechanism that is sending Michele Bachmann hurtling in the direction of the Oval Office. Bachmann is a religious zealot whose brain is a raging electrical storm of divine visions and paranoid delusions. She believes that the Chinese are plotting to replace the dollar bill, that light bulbs are killing our dogs and cats, and that God personally chose her to become both an IRS attorney who would spend years hounding taxpayers and a raging anti-tax Tea Party crusader against big government. She kicked off her unofficial presidential campaign in New Hampshire, by mistakenly declaring it the birthplace of the American Revolution. "It's your state that fired the shot that was heard around the world!" she gushed. "You are the state of Lexington and Concord, you started the battle for liberty right here in your backyard." further down: Regent was unabashed in its desire that its graduates enter government and become "change agents" who would help bring the law more in line with "eternal principles of justice," i.e., biblical morality. To that end, Bachmann was mentored by a crackpot Christian extremist professor named John Eidsmoe, a frequent contributor to John Birch Society publications who once opined that he could imagine Jesus carrying an M16 and who spent considerable space in one of his books musing about the feasibility of criminalizing blasphemy.

Too bad Bachman isn't black because bozo's like this wouldn't have the balls to say anything bad about a black woman.

This woman is scary. Takes direct orders from God.
I still get a laugh out of her making up the stuff about Obama's trip to India and how quick those enlightened conservatives were to believe every word she said. Hopefully the right can find a better candidate than this, the American people deserve that much.

Right winger and proud as hell to admit it. Just how's that Liberalism crap working out for this country "again". I only hate all the trash that thinks it's my job to go to work everyday to support them. Those are your people. I volunteer at the homeless center and a good portion of my check goes is donated to good causes. I'm thinking you, like almost all liberals, do no charity work and want the government to give my money so to others so that you don't have to reach into your own pocket.

i read something a few months back..something along the lines of just because you have an issue with the messenger, it doesn't make the message less important. as for obama, he may be naive, inept, in over his head...but he's not a scumbag. i didn't vote for him, or mccain (first time ever i voted for a 3rd party candidate) in the last election...but if for some odd reason i had to choose between just obama and this gal, well-i'd be voting democrat. this woman is a nutcase. you can't use logic with people who think they have a direct line with gaaawd.
