Bachmann: Improving economy 'won't take that long'

NEWTON, Iowa – Michele Bachmann declared Friday "it won't take that long" for her to start turning the ailing economy around as president as she competed against other GOP presidential rivals to build support ahead of a key GOP straw poll in Iowa next week.

Bachmann told reporters after a campaign event in Newton that the economy would start to improve almost immediately after she becomes president because she would immediately implement conservative economic policies to slash the nation's debt, rule out tax increases and cut regulations.

"It won't take that long if we send signals to the marketplace," she said, standing by an earlier comment that the improvement would begin within the first quarter.

Speaking to a crowd of more than 60 in the parking lot of a Pizza Ranch, Bachmann said Friday's economic report indicating that 117,000 jobs were created last month showed the economy remained too weak. She also said this week's plunge of the stock market was proof that an agreement to raise the nation's debt ceiling and cut spending that she voted against was "a stinky deal."

1. Turning the country in a 1650's village would be a snap for her.

[onehandle]

6. You mean by burning nonbelievers at the stake and reinstating slavery?

She's right. Then the rich would finally make a comeback.

5. I do not believe that is her problem

I believe she went to her husband for intensive therapy and he crossed so many wires that her brain short-circuited and fried

[Chef Eric]

7. RIght. Like designing a new addition to the Guggenheim. nt

[Plucketeer]

8. Yup!

Reminds me of whan McCain was promising voters he'd advise the military as to how to get bin Laden - if only they'd elect him to the presidency! Why ON EARTH did the press not press him as to why he wouldn't share such intel right then and there??? Wouldn't witholding such info from the military be TREASON??? LOL! and they went after Bloggo for trying to leverage a senate seat! Friggin' IDIOTS!!!:crazy:

[CJCRANE]

34. Good point! nt

9. "...if we send signals to the marketplace"

Such an ill-informed presidency would leave us with the ruins of cities sending smoke high into the sky, with a background of millions of people screaming in pain and frustration.

Those kinds of signals?

[lunatica]

10. Fucking famous last fucking words

She'll go down in history just like Neville Chamberlain did regarding Hitler.

That's a really creepy photoshop. it is a photoshop isn't it? :scared:

[primavera]

11. I dunno, our own party may be the better comparison to Neville

Bachmann's more like the totalitarian lunatic the Dems will try to collaborate with in the interest of bipartisanship.

[BadGimp]

12. not a photoshop

truth is that photo was taken by the very monkey in the photo


Monkey steals camera to snap himself
A macaque monkey in Indonesia took a camera from a wildlife photographer before snapping himself in a variety of poses.

31. Thanks for that wonderful link!

It's a very cool story!

OK, I've changed my mind about the photo. Funny how knowing how and why it was taken makes such a difference. But those teeth!

[krispos42]

13. Completely blind to reality.

She shouldn't be driving, much less in a position of elected power.

[southernyankeebelle]

14. This woman is an idiot. Her ideas already put this country in the trouble we are in.

[sakabatou]

15. O RLY? Show us then

[riderinthestorm]

16. Speaking before "a crowd of more than 60 in the parking lot of a Pizza Ranch"

60 people?? Why is this even news? I am horrified to think that 60 people gathering anywhere is news for any top flight national news org.

Beyond that, this is the Rethug frontrunner?? Attracted 60 people??

Wow!!

[abq e streeter]

17. Hey now, to be fair , it was MORE than 60

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Coulda been 65 or 70 for all we know

[tomg]

30. It was probably a special on

Pineapple pizza that day that attracted the 60 people. Actually, Bachmann should use their slogan for their thin crust pizza as her campaign slogan: "flaky and crispy, it will make you grin."

[CBHagman]

35. "Why is this even news?"

See media, summer of 2009 (Red-faced people yelling at town hall meetings), or during Palinpalooza (Now hopefully behind us all) or during Christine "I'm not a witch" O'Donnell's failed run for the Senate. They eat this stuff up.

[No Elephants]

37. In fairness, the article said MORE than 60, so figure 61. More than tens of people.

Word to Michelle B.

Sit down and shut up, macaroon.

[mzmolly]

18. Signals? Like the Bush tax cuts that remain in place?

Them signals? :eyes:

[SemperEadem]

19. girl, you can only get -10% of the vote. Sit down shut the eff up.

[SoapBox]

20. wow...what a maroon.

Such an idiot.

I wouldn't trust her to go to the grocery store with a list, let alone be President.

[left on green only]

22. Did A Bonafide Tax Attorney Really Say That? Really???

Wow! Well then she can sign my tax return any day, as long as she will be responsible. When she claimed to have passed the bar, did she mean literally, like walking past it on the sidewalk? How can a person be that intellectually challenged and still have passed the bar in any state, let alone a state of sobriety?

[Javaman]

23. I know it's not politically correct and I'll probably have my comment deleted, but...

frankly, I honestly believe the woman is retarded.

I apologize Mods, but I couldn't help myself, you may delete this if you feel it necessary.

[MurrayDelph]

24. Yet another Republican who buys into

the Underwear Gnomes theory of economics:


1. Cut taxes and services
2. ?
3. Jobs!

[TomCADem]

25. Yes, She Will Improvement Employment By Cutting Spending Like They Promised in 2010!

How has that worked for the House GOP? We don't know, because we are too busy blaming President Obama for the actions of the radical right in holding our nation hostage.

[JohnnyRingo]

26. Let me guess...

1. TAX CUTS!!
2. Stop frivolous lawsuts
3. No abortions
4. TAX CUTS!!

[JDPriestly]

27. I'd like to see her math. I mean really see what numbers she is projecting on this.

Surely her economists have done the calculations, haven't they?

[Courtesy Flush]

28. Sorry. Obama implemented conservative economic policies. Didn't work. nt

[JAnthony]

29. Time to listen to a song ....a campaign song for Michele B...

32. Speaking to a crowd of more than 60 in the parking lot of a Pizza Ranch,

What a putz! And she has a crowd of 60 stupid followers out of 310 million people in our country. I realize not all 310 mil are available to her now, but really 60 people and we are supposed to be impressed?

[City Lights]

33. Suuuure, Michele. Whatever you say.

:+

[sarcasmo]

36. Bat shit crazy. This nut job should be as far away fro the white house as possible.

[okieinpain]

38. she's right but it wouldnt be because of her. it would happen if

any repug wins because the big money folks would open the bank vaults to make the repug look good.

[daleo]

39. It's magical thinking

Which is the fundamental problem.
