Washington (CNN) – CNN has exclusively learned that Rep. Michele Bachmann will form a presidential exploratory committee. The Minnesota Republican plans to file papers for the committee in early June, with an announcement likely around that same time.
But a source close to the congresswoman said that Bachmann could form the exploratory committee even earlier than June so that she could participate in early Republican presidential debates.
"She's been telling everyone early summer," the source told CNN regarding Bachmann's planned June filing and announcement. But the source said that nothing is static.
"If you [debate sponsors] come to us and say, 'To be in our debates, you have to have an exploratory committee,' then we'll say, 'Okay, fine...I'll go file the forms.'"
Three GOP presidential primary debates are planned before and during early June: The first one on May 2 at the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, California and another on May 5 in South Carolina. CNN plans a GOP presidential primary debate in New Hampshire in early June.
Meanwhile, CNN has also learned that Iowa Republican state Sen. Kent Sorenson will likely be hired to be Bachmann's political director for the state - and that Bachmann aides hope to have a complete team together for Iowa by this weekend.
Sorenson is a prominent Tea Party figure in Iowa and holds sway with evangelicals in the state. He has publicly said he will support Bachmann if she mounts a presidential bid.
The three-term congresswoman and Tea Party favorite hopes to also have political teams in place - very soon - in New Hampshire, home to the first-in-the-nation presidential primary, and South Carolina, host of the first presidential primary in the South.
"I could have state directors in all those states within a week," Bachmann Chief of Staff Andy Parrish said.

HAHAHAHAHAAAA! Bring it on WACKO!
That conservatives LIKE this dumb, crazy woman really says everything you need to know about them.
What a joke! This bigoted, uninformed woman actually thinks the American people are stupid enough to make her President. She is nothing more than Rick Santorum in a dress.
Oh how I wish that if you decided to run for president you had to give up your seat in congress.
They must explore her head to see if they can find a brain ! What a complete waste of time and money ! ZERO chance of getting her being picked as a candidate.At least Palin admits she has no chance of winning and she is not going to run unless no one else runs, Bachmann should do the same as sister Sarah
Bachmann is insane. Not sure what universe should could win a presidential election. She's one of those candidates who would only agree to one debate as to not embarrass herself.
Can anyone name ANY accomplishment or landmark legislation she's sponsored??? This was the criticism of Obama. Let's see if people call her out on this as well. This woman has made some outlandish accusations with NO PROOF of anything. In her last couple of times she's tried to show her "constitutional' knowledge, she's "mispoken", i.e. the founding fathers worked tirelessly to get rid of slavery.....Huh?? Some of them owned slaves..........then in New Hampshire, trying to appease the voters there, she attributed a battle that happened in MA to being in NH. Look, I'm not saying that means very much. But if your message is that we shold be getting "back" to the constitution, then you should know your history. Again I say, what has she accomplished in Congress that anyone can remember. Last thing, let's check to see if and if so, how much in "earmarks" she has accepted and how many times she has voted no on budgets that increased our deficit. IN particular when President Bush was in command.
We need her like a fish need Sarah Palin.
Interesting. Let the liberal bashing begin. This woman is smart, focused and real. And every bit as qualified as Obama ever was. She will definitely make the debates lively and score some good points.
Bring it on crazy lady! Bring it on
Run Michelle run!! Palin's cult followers are going to lose their minds! Ha Ha HA
PLEASE DO Mirs Bachmann we need some comedy in this upcoming election. Plus it will be fun to see your GOP competitors for the nomination rake you through to coals as to why you shouldn't be their candidate and they should. Actually I look forward to it.
She will make millions. Don't try to look any deeper than that. There is nothing else there and that is the extent of it.
Good news for Democrats.
Is this the Exploratory Ccommittee for the Exploratory Committee? When/if she actually announces, tell us. This is otherwise a waste of CNN's resources.
TG it's not Palin, she turned from interesting new comer into some cult of personality media whore...enough so she has no merit. I won't say Bachmann is without credibility. More power to her.
Pawlenty/Bachmann 2012!!!!
Another colonoscopy? First pawman andnow the #2 MN bimbo!
While waiting for President Obama to be reelected we are going to have a lot of late night and dailiy fun with these morons! Love it!!!
Thanks MN 6th district for keeping this airhead as a rep.
I'll save you some time:
You have no chance in hell of
being elected to anything beyond
where you now are. As a total fake,
and self-appointed 'tea party' rep, you are well
past obnoxious, and repulsive; all the way to no chance in hell.
I can't wait to hear her debating skills.
This loon is fulfilling every Democrat's wet dream. As an Independent (with Democratic leanings) I look forward to the press releases, reporter's questions and debates for two reasons. 1. The morbid curiousity of viewing a trainwreck; and 2. A chance for the American electorate to pass judgement on this dingbat.
I would also propose that the first thing she should do is take the citizenship test required of everyone desiring to become a citizen. As a matter-of-fact that test should be a requirement of all candidates. Do not confuse me with a moronic "birther". It would just be nice if the person elected president actually knew America's history.
what is the committee exploring for? A brain.
The psycho is running for President? Wonderful! I can't wait to hear all of the falsehoods of American history. This woman is possessed by some kind of demon. She actually thinks Glen Beck..............nevermind. That's just how ridiculous this woman is.
To the middle class and the independents who keep voting for these rethugs . . . . What is it going to take for you people to realize that the rethugs are all about their money and their super rich friends???
They are already re writing history in Texas. Now they want to erase the hard working men and women who made/make this country what it is!! When is it going to stop?
Let the crazies begin!!!
She's going in to OVERDRIVE! ZING!
When does this "Lady" find time to serve the people of her district.
This woman should be an embarrassment to intelligent women in our country. She claims to be such an authority on the "founders," the Constitution, etc., and yet she screws up which state the first shots of the American Revolution were fired in her public speech. She's an air-head, and there are so many more intelligent women of substance out there who could be leaders...but she and Sarah Palin seem to be the best the Republicans can come up with?
Can't wait for the Bachman/Pailin ticket. Maybe with O'Donnell as AG?
She doesn't have a chance! No career politicians should even bother running!! The public has had enough!! We need someone who isn't a lawyer and has run a successful business in times of adverstiy! DONALD TRUMP 2012!!!
At least she is funny to watch.
The answer is NO. She lied about Tea Party values and voted yes to renew the Patriot Act, she's a phoney.
She makes Palin look like Einstein! What a fool!
Did you know she thinks only evangelicals should hold American office? Do you really want a religious nut like this in office? esp if you believe in freedom of religion? I dont get the Tea party cozy either. They are a complete contridiction of themselves. They want us to return to what the forefathers envisioned...well church running state is not that.
Whom ever is encouraging her must want Democrat to win.
Anotherconservative nut clamoring for GOP nomination to be a presidential contender. No chance lady.
Myabe it will be a Palin/Bachmann ticket. What a joke. LOL
Yuk. Can't we get a good person to run? A smart person? A person who is willing to lessen the divide? Not a face politician with more of the same rhetoric and do-nothing agenda? Ugh.
If the independent candidate in her district would have pulled from the election, she wouldn't have won another term. She is why people frown on gerrymandering! A prime example
Wow...I'm surprised that CNN hasn't filled the blog with hate mail for conservatives, and posted on pro-liberal spew by now...ANYONE with a conservative base will easily defeat Obama. He's provided more political fodder than all previous administrations combined....no transparency, caving on same-sex marriage, ramming Obamacare through despite the majority of the country against it...even a mediocre candidate would be a better president than the zero in place now.
Great! The GOP is going to trade one nitwit ( Sarah Palin ) for another ( Michele Bachmann ) ??? Evidiently, the Democrats have successfully infiltrated the Republican Party and are VERY successful in getting front-runners for the Presidential slot on the next ticket THAT WILL INSURE OBAMA GETS RE-ELECTED!
No, you misunderstood. Michele Bachmann is forming a committee to explore what the presidency is, because she's heard the term but isn't familiar with it.
A great VP choice.
How about Alan West for president? He has more background then Obama ever had,or has.
Wow as if Sarah Palin wasn't enough, now we have this dumb witch to contend with.
I'll support her in a heart beat. If we can't get Chris Christie or Tim Pawlenty, then go Michelle. Keep it up. Keep calling the thugs, thugs.
HAHAHA
What a line up the GOP has. 2012 is going to be AWESOME!!!! Can you say Obama's landslide?
Let's find out how crazy she really is... I guess we'll find out how much of the country is crazy by how much support she gets.
It wouldn't hurt if she explored a little US history too. This is coming from a Republican. She speaks in broad strokes and knows little of the details of which she speaks. Her recent gaffe on Lexington/Concord is case and point.
Forget it Bauchman! You aren't who we will vote for. Don't embarass our party or yourself. The socialist joker sitting in the white house now is the biggest sham joke on planet earth, but....you couldn't even do half as good as him. You would only make matters worse. You ain't "president" material
They are coming out of the wood work. The only chance to run obama out of DC is Chris Christy. Nwet is from the old DC crowd, Pallian is toast. If we get some of these tea party people on the ballot we will be stuck with mr. indesisive for another 4 years
This would be awesome. The more wackjobs run as Republicans, the more the President is assured a second term.
I read that Bachmann has charged that global warming is a hoax and has been a vocal skeptic of global warming. She has asserted that since carbon dioxide is "a natural byproduct of nature", it is a beneficial gas required by plant life. She stated that because life requires CO2 and it is part of the planet's life cycle, it cannot be harmful. In a statement she made on the House floor on Earth Day, April 22, 2009.
By that rationale, water is essential, too much cannot be bad for us, can we PLEASE hold her head under it for about an hour and see if she still holds this belief?
She is definitely presidential material. We should be so lucky as to have this honest to God conservative in the White House. She would blow Barry out of the water in a debate. She is no nonsense, unlike all the career RINOs.
bachmann another teapartier exploring for votes. team up with the wassllly Hillbilly sure to be a total losing team.
Note to those that like the bobsie twins. this is criticism not hate. I kinow that you have a problem telling the difference.
the act of passing judgment as to the merits of anything. 2. the act of passing severe judgment; censure; faultfinding.
Liberals do not fear them
let the comedy beign!!
thank you you half wit. you are the gift that keeps giving
awesome
I feel so much better now.
Finally a potential candidate that will do all she can regarding drilling oil, cuttting taxes, cutting spending, reducing and eliminating govt agencies, return states rights. Amen.
Finally, a presidential candidate that will give Palin a fighting chance of winning the GOP nomination. Doesn't matter much though because if either one of these people get the GOP nomination it will be a windfall for Obama and the Dems.
Go Michelle! Tea Party for republicans means a cakewalk for the dems.
Woohoo!!! With Sister Sarah still constantly announcing how she hasn't decided to run yet, Bachmann's the next best candidate for liberals! Com'on Bachmann, run!! If Sister Sarah's not in the game, you'll get the full support of all liberals all the way through the entire primaries!
This Bachman run for WH 2012 means Huckabee, Palin, Gingrich all may lose supporters.
Oh my god. Say it isn't so.
She should start an exploratory committee to check on her IQ since she has NO CHANCE of even getting close to the nomination but if she wants to waste her time and $ on nothing more than an expose tour on how stupid she is, go ahead
Well, the Republican side of the election just got a lot funnier.
Every looney, no matter how competent, can attract people to them. Unfortunately, America has too many looneys who have sufficient egos to believe that they are ordained by God to run our country.
Yes! Yes! Yes! Thank you Michele for stepping up to the plate. She's a true patriot who has the guts to vote for what she believes in.. Don't think she'll be voting 'present".
I'm quite sure her qualifictions are right down there with Sarah Palin. Having another hard right winger running for President is nuts. What happened to being moderate? I used to vote straight party on the ballot but I haven't done it in a while because these clowns now (I include politicians on both sides) are filled with rabid stupidity about their point of view. I'm a Republican but I'd vote for a blue dog Democrat before this nut job.
Bachmann is crazier than Palin ! The republican's are digging a bigger hole for themselves everyday with these crazy candidates ! That's it , the teaparty candidates have to be stopped now ! They will complete destroy America ! We have seen the chaos that they have inflicted upon their unsuspecting constituent's and it need's to be stopped ! Their war on the middle class end's now ! Everybody please get out and vote to stop this pestilence in the next election and send these teahadist's a message that our Democracy is no longer going to be corrupted by your vile nonsense !
I shudder at the thought, of this person running for President.
Are there any serious GOP candidates? I am a life long democrat, but it is disconcerting that there are not any sane, moderate leaders in the opposing party, who can have an intelligent debate regarding solutions for the serious problems that face our nation. It is truly sad, the current GOP contenders are such extreme losers. We need opposing ideas to fully represent our diverse population. On the bright side, if the Republicans can't find a viable candidate, it will guarantee that we will have 4 more years of intelligent, thoughtful leadership from Obama and Biden.
Oh please run. It will be so much fun to watch. Mrs. Palin please run as well.
Toss in Caribou Barbie and we'll have a whole lotta crazy going on in 2012
Yes ! Please run so we can all laugh at the train wreck of you getting torn apart in the debates! HAHAHHAHAHAHAAAaaaaa
There are no sane people left in the Republican party.
This woman is a danger – she is a member of a CULT that holds a foreign country (one that has attacked us, no less) as more important than the US. Look up her name with "Israel."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Next, someone will actually suggest she is qualified for the job. I really needed a good laugh this morning. Oh wait, she's not kidding? That's an even bigger laugh.
Lord help us all! This crazy woman needs to be put in an institution where she can receive treatment.
As dumb and as useless of a person as Sarah Palin.
I'm sure women's groups will rally to support her. She is articulste, smart, independent, a leader, and is trying to break the glass ceiling. Her campaign would be historic as the first woman president. Right, don't hold your breath, the attacks will start from the left. Maybe Bill Maher ( who?.... He is a tv comedian) can weigh in with his insight.
oh please run...don't tease me...i love it when a self-agrandizing corporate tool gets smashed...
Not another idiot Palin wannabe...The country has enough big mouths with nothing to back it up. This woman is another joke.
I like it. She's smart. She has experience. She's not afraid to call it like it is.
Please run Michelle, pretty please. We need 4 more years of Barack's leadership and to finish the job he's started.
LOL! What is this dolt planning to investigate? How badly she will be beaten? Just the fact that Bachmann thinks that she is qualifed to be President is a testment to her incredible arrogance and stupidity.
Please do not waste our tax-payer money by running for President.
I am starting to feel bad for the Republicans; its slate of candidates is truly abysmal . The addition of Michelle Bachmann now adds real comedy to the list. So far Romney is the best of the lot, but then alot of people object to the Obamacare style healthcare plan he started here in MA. He is intelligent with alot of good business smarts which is alot more than I can say for Bachmann! Maybe all these unelectable candidates will push Jeb Bush into the race!
only one thing to say LOL
Don't bother with your exploratory committee Michele. The people of the U.S. have not been "dumbed down" enough to vote for you as POTUS.
Oh no! Not Bachmann! The one who sat on national TV and announced that Obama was spending 2 mil a day on his India trip. If she doesn't bother to separate fact from fiction then what kind of president would she be? Unbelievable...
You will just wast your money , because you will never win or any body else back by the TEA PARTY. Be side that you are all most as big of a IDIOT as Saran Palin.
This is a gift to all Democrats ! Bachmann represents all that is crazy and illiterate in today's politicians. If she becomes the candidate, the Republican party will become irrelevant. Somehow and somewhere, people have to stop electing these goofy people. If one of them ever gets into the Presidency, the country will self-destruct.....
She doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell. Nuff said.
Just when we thought Plain was the dumbest thing out there this tool beats her hands down....
Thought I'd never vote for a woman because they just seemed to timid and feared they would be pushed around. That was before Bachmann and Palin. I would be proud to vote for Bachmann. Hell, she's got more kahunas than any male politician I know.
I am no fan of Bachmann. I think she is a rube that shamelessly panders to the tea party and to people's fears. She doesn't stand a chance to win the Republican nomination. I think it's all a ploy to get her on the ticket as a Republican VP nominee. A more moderate Republican presidential nominee could please the right-wing by choosing Bachmann as VP. I still think she'd be horrible at the job, though.
What a system! What a country! Just think of it - how open can our system really be? Just about anyone can run for president - even vapid, shallow, ignorant fools like Bachman. So, I say to her - bring on your campaign, we're all eagerly awaiting the amusement and oh boy, do we need a comic relief from what the right-wing hate mongering that's been going on in this country since an Afro-American was elected President! How about a Palin/Bachman team for the "GOP" in 2012??!!?? It just doesn't get any better (i.e., funnier) than that.
Wow, even crazier than I thought.
great, another wacko to run for president...and knowing how stupid americans are, there is a chance she will get elected....
Please don't do it. I would feel insulted to be represented by you!
How about she try forming a thought?
One more Republican wacko joins the GOP presidential circus.
She makes Palin seem smart!
With Palin, Barbour, Trump, and Bachman, things are really tightening up for the MORON vote.
Woo Hoo!! Go Michele Go!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!
It's almost April. These Republicans need to get their rears in gear.
I am a conservative Minnesotan who lives in Bachmann's 6th district and am embarrassed to admit it. She's a flake, at best, with the narrowest possible world view. Her thoughts, actions, and comments are all "shoot from the hip" and to "heck" with facts or accuracy. She and her followers are driven by emotion rather than clear thinking. The Republican Party uses her for her ability to pull a crowd of donors together but doesn't seriously consider her a leader or even good for the country. However, the average American voter isn't necessarily the brightest bulb in the pack so Bachmann is ignored at our peril.
I hope she runs so President Obama wins a second term.
Here we go again, another greed driven Ego-Maniac, who knows she doesn't have a snowballs chance of winning, ready to suck millions and millions of dollars out of ignorant and naive people's pockets just to feed her own delusions of self grandeur. How this woman would get one vote is beyond the pale. She is totally anti-middle class and simply another member of the new 'feudal' system in America – thinking everyone is here just to make her rich. Very sad that folks allow themselves to be taken in by her vitriol and rhetoric.
Thank God! Finally a little LEVITY in the news.
This just makes it so easy to be a comedian. They don't have to do any research at all for jokes!
Michele please run, there is no need to explore the idea! You will definitely be the headliner!
This will be funny. I can’t wait for this one woman political circus to start.
Normally I and the rest of the electorate do not consider mere congresspeople to be seasoned enough for presidential level consideration. Usually we want governors or high level military. But... Bachmann has shown a lot of leadership qualities. I certainly want to take a better look at her, but, I must say, she has been better and more clear on the issues than most of what is out there. A very fine person as far as I can see. I saw her speak at CPAC and she energized the room.
Why doesn't Bachmann go back to making toy trains or pretzels LOL
Well I dont really think MB is presidental material. I would not vote for her or SP neither one has no idea on what is going on in this world. President Obama is the best to run this country. But some people think if he goes to the bathroom it is wrong. I dont understand that at all
Please, please, please do not let this anti-intellectual nut job run for President.
Oh good gravy, the embarassment of riches for Minnesota just keeps on growing. Michele Bachmann is delusional. How can you tell? She thinks she could be President!
Palin should run too, so those 2 CrackPots will argeu who is prettier ......huahuahuahaua
The world is truly coming to an end. What a joke. So sorry for the USA.
Oh, Bachmann, please do run. Not only will it give us Independents and Democrats some comical humor during the election season – you'll also be securing another 4 years for our President.
i just wish she was more truthful. check politifact's website ... you'll find she rarely says anything remotely truthful.
The endorsement of the Tea Party is the kiss of death to any presidential ambitions!
You will not find a television commercial of Michelle Bachmann sitting on a park bench with her arm around the wicked witch of the West, Nancy Pelosi, like you can find with Newt Gingrich. Thank our lucky stars that at least one real conservative has thrown his, or in this case, her hat in the ring.
Michelle- I'll save you ALOT of other people's money. You are in NO WAY qualified personally OR professionally to be president of The USA. You, your mouth, and your ego need to sit down and realize this. Totally unelectable.
Great, all the idiots are being let out of their cages. Maybe we'll be lucky enough to have a Bachmann/Palin ticket. The end of democracy as we know it – Thomas Jefferson must be rolling over in his grave right now.
There is not much else that would solidify President Obama's re-election , than to have an opponent as totally unqualified as the empty vessel!
Awesome,finally a true Repub.not some RINO trying to convince us their a true conservative.Mrs Bachman you have my vote please run our country needs a real leader.
Just going to waste a lot of time and money.
Ohm yes, pleaz run, the field of morons has one more open slot.
This woman have the nerves to say that she's running for President. What a Joke! Just bring it on Ms. Bachmann. You will be embarrass severly by our current leader and you will be defeated in your home state of MN. She's a Republican FIREBRAND that talks LOUD AND SAYS NOTHING!!!
Michele, please don't waste your money. Stay at home. Nobody will vote for you
I would rather see my dog be president,she's pretty smart, than this crazy self-deluded person.
Apparently there was lots of encouragement for her in the out patient support group she attends for the hopelessly stupid.
Oh Please, Oh Please, Oh Please run for President Sarah, I mean Michele, oh please!
OBAMA 2012!
Oh goodie, yet another clueless person who thinks that spouting a bunch of rhetoric, that most of the time does not even make sense, is a qualification to run for president. This woman has been jealous of Tim Pawlenty from the day he took office. She probably thinks she can actually steal some of his thunder.
Another clown in the circus!
Explore if you must . The answer is NO.
Wonderful. I really really wish and pray to God that she is the Nominee of the Republican Party. She would be a wonderful candidate to run aginst President Obama.
If this idiot wasn't so stupid, she'd realize that hell has already frozen over ... and that she missed the burning submarine; but in her defense, America has experienced far stupider presidential candidates over the centuries ... and several of them actually got elected – go figure ... and I didn't know the revolutionary war started in Concord NH ... man, am I dumb – YIKES !
OMG! We can has Bachmann and Palin on one ticket!!!!!!!!!! And I ain't talking about some political fetish movie either.... I may have to vote Teaparty this election, just for the laughs!
This woman is a certified nut job. If brains were horse manure she would't have a smell.
Thank goodness. Bachmann and Paul or Paul/Bachmann... winning ticket.
As a proud Minnesotan I'm glad we can share one of our great political minds like Michele Bachmann to follow in the foot steps of other great politicians from the Gopher state........ you know....like Jesse Venturs...ugh.
John Stewart and other late nite shows will have a great next season. It just keeps getting better and better. Maybe it is time to let England have another try at running this country. Just a thought.
If she runs, who are we going to replace that spineless weakling speaker with?
Bachmann, the former tax attorney and business owner, is one of the few politicians in the country that seems to understand the severity of the economic problems facing the nation and is willing to do something about it. Out with Obama and in with Bachmann!
This idiot wont win and she is wasting her time. I'm not voting for any of the racist republicans. They showed me their true nature for the past two years and it is a racist one. I'm voting for Obama.
Michelle Bachmann was not born in the united states. I want to see her birth certificate. She is totally Canadian. i can hear it in her voice just like her twit twin sister. There, thats proof! My opinion is proof!!!!
The woman has ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE of being elected POTUS, so I hope she runs and wins the GOP nomination.
Not another Republican female idiot in contention. ... ugh!
Go, Michelle! I can't think of a better candidate for our president to run against. He'll be a shoo-in.
I am a conservative, but this is a waste of her time. She should continue her fights in the congress. Being a Tea Party Favorite probably won't help her. She will fall by the wayside early on.
Bachmann does not look presidential; she looks like a moron.
This should push "Cris" right over the edge!!
I wonder if George Will thinks Michelle Bachmann could run a lemonade stand.
Oh, congrats. Your chances went from 1% to 1.1% with this action.
Who in their right mind would vote for this person? Does the GOP not have anyone left in their ranks with an intellect? It's beginning to get a little scary.
I hope she goes for it and wins the nomination.
wow, what a slap in the face. Can the GOP really not attract better candidates? Seriously?
You know, I think my cat wants to form an "exploratory committee" in June, too. Hey, don't laugh. My cat would make a better president than Bachmann.
I can only hope this woman runs for president and draws the evangelical zealot vote. People like this have no business in politics and while she obviously has a "constitutional right" to be voted in as a representative, I think we can all agree her experience and intellect are lacking tremendously. How anyone could justify voting for someone of this quality is beyond me and hopefully beyond most Americans. If it isn't then we're seriously in trouble. (Then again this country did vote George W. Bush into office for 8 years so I suppose anything is possible)
Oh God, please let it be true!! Obama in a land slide!
Palin / Bachmann 2012
Divas of Doom Tour !
Let the circus begin! This is just perfect, the idiot of the Tea Bagging/Republican party announces her explotatory committe for president. Just when it was begining to look like there would be no lonny toons female candidate for 2012, we have the looniest of them all running. She make sarah palin look normal.
She is another embarrassment to the American people.
I am embarrassed and somewhat ashamed to be an American right now. To think that someone as obnoxious and insane as Michele Bachmann could run for PRESIDENT of the USA???..... it`s embarrassing and shameful.
Maybe an exploratory committee could try to find her brain.
There's obviously been a mistake here. Bachman thought you said they were forming a Pez committee, because otherwise, she's either flipped her lid or eating some of that funny candy again.
