Voting against something isn't enough nor is Bachmann's constant claim that she has fought against this or that. A true leader will actually win most of their fights and convince others to vote against things like raising the debt ceiling.
Bachmann is a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, not the President. How could she have stopped Obama and the Pelosi/Reid led Dems from passing porkulus?
Right, but considering the fact most of Bachmann's time in Congress has been with Nancy Pelosi as Speaker with a huge democrat majority, it's hard to envision Bachmann actually getting much done. Just trying to keep some perspective here.
