Bachmann will rip Obama, praise Tea Party in State of the Union response
The Hill ^ | 1/25/11 | Jordan Fabian

Posted on 01/25/2011 2:58:49 PM PST by pissant

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) will criticize President Obama for overspending and credit the conservative Tea Party movement for changing the tide in Washington during her Tuesday night response to the State of the Union.

Even though some Republicans voiced concern that her message could conflict with the official GOP response, excerpts released by the congresswoman's office contain no direct mention of House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's (R-Wis.) official GOP response and no mention of a benchmark for spending cuts.

Bachmann will note that Tea Party activists loudly protested against the federal stimulus package but Obama decided not to listen, costing him dearly in the November midterm elections.

After Ryan’s “official” rebuttal, whenever that is.

“But her speech might not receive the wider audience for which she had been hoping. CNN is the only cable or broadcast network that has decided to air the speech. Tea Party Express, the group sponsoring the rebuttal, will also stream it on their website.”

“Her full speech will air after Ryan delivers his official response, which immediately follows the president’s speech.”

Hmmm, why is FOX not broadcasting as well? Michelle Bachmann's response is something FOX viewers genuinely want to see, is it not?

Oh, and anyone watching our alleged president tonight, just for fun, look up the symptoms of malignant narcissism first. (It might add some perspective.)

THIS is the real speech tonight.

Run for your lives! Robert Gibbs is on Fox talking to Brett Baier. And Brett used the words ‘buzz word.’ Saints preserve us!

Can’t wait to hear her response. She will make Liberals and Liberal RINOs head spin.

Hopefully, the Republican congressional rank and file will toe the Tea Party line if they keep feeling its hot breath on their necks.

Fox News is not conservative. Look at all the Liberals and Liberal RINOS they have on their network.

Bachmann is too conservative for Fox News

Just as Duncan Hunter's voice was ignored in '08 to "boost McCain" as the genuine War Hero, conservative. On every "debate" with the cast of thousands in the GOP race, no real "issue" questions were ever asked of Hunter and whenever he attempted to expand into territory that the U.S. public desired to hear, they cut him off immediately.K

Shame on FOX.

Personally, I'd put Hunter's record against McCain's anytime.

US Republican Representative from Minnesota Michele Bachmann speaks to the press on January 24. Fired-up US Republicans scoffed Tuesday at talk of party fissures as the archconservative "Tea Party" movement prepared to deliver its own rebuttal to President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech.

Are they kidding? Sarah Palin posts a speech on her facebook page and every liberal in the country saw it. That has to be true because they all had a visceral reaction to it so they must have watched it.

Michele is a courageous patriot, and she refuses to be silenced. I’m curious to hear what Paul Ryan, a true intellectual, has to say. Republicans need to keep pushing the public opinion polls rightward, and stop responding fearfully to them. Bob

This will be the only mention of the Tea Party the entire night and tomorrow.
