Id Rather Live in Palin's Alaska Than Bachmans US

Early this morning Michelle Bachmann, Representative to the 6th District of Minnesota, was interviewed by FOX news. The topic of the hour was whether Ms. Bachmann was truly considering a bid for presidency after her recent announcement to arrive in Iowa one week earlier than likely GOP Candidate, Governor and fellow Minnesotan, Tim Pawlenty. She has not announced that she will be putting a bid into what seems to be a very full slate for the GOP Primary, but her press shop is certainly not denying it stating, "nothing is off the table."- Sergio Gor

Like I said, she has not announced but here is a few lines from the interview this morning, make of it what you will:

VAN SUSTEREN: "All right, I know why you're going to Iowa. Now let me go back to my question. Are you going to run in 2012?"

BACHMANN: "Well, I am not focused on my own personal ambitions. What I am focused on very clearly is to make sure that we cannot continue to go down the road we do. I brought one chart that I want to share with you. This is the debt that was accumulated under President Bush, all of these red lines. This is just two years under President Obama.

That's what I'm nervous about, and that's why I'm very committed to doing whatever I can to make sure that we don't have a second term for President Obama. So I'm going to add my voice to that conversation in the next two years."

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. One last question on this. What would go - - I know that you haven't said no. You haven't said yes, but you haven't said no. What would -- what are your considerations? What would convince you that maybe you should run for president? And what would discourage you?

BACHMANN: Well, I just think that's the wrong question to ask for the next year. I think the next year shouldn't be about necessarily who is the personality. That's why it's not about my personal ambition. But it is about making sure that people know what the issues are, what the principles are, because I think a year from now -- I mean, can you imagine two years of speculating about who the nominee will be?

VAN SUSTEREN: "But that's what we -- I mean, that -- but someone's going to announce in the next couple of weeks, probably."

BACHMANN: "(INAUDIBLE) fatiguing. It is boring. I think what we need to do is make sure that we understand -- this is very serious business. And I am committed to making sure that this will not be our future because the debt ceiling is a huge issue"

In the winter of 2009 I went to work out on a democratic primary taking place in the 6th district of Minnesota between State Senate Minority leader Taryl Clark and unlikely newcomer, Dr. Maureen Reed. The winner of this battle was to take on Bachmann in the Fall of 2010. As expected Clark won the nomination of all the labor unions being a long standing political figure, and sure enough fell in the only conservative district of Minnesota to Bachmann on November 3rd. With the tea party members, tax activists, angry Midwestern women, and the wind on her back, Michelle Bachmann has the confidence to throw herself in the mix and protest Barrack Obama the best way she knows how; run for President of the United States.

"If the 2012 GOP ticket is Palin/Bachmann, it might be the right time to fulfill my lifelong dream of studying abroad."
