Bachmann Stands by ‘Gangster Government’ Description By Melanie Starkey Roll Call Staff March 6, 2011, 1:39 p.m.
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) refused Sunday to retreat from her characterization of the Obama administration as a "gangster government."
The House Tea Party Caucus founder said, "I don't take back my statement on gangster government," a phrase she used at a tea party gathering in April. "I think that there have been actions that have been taken by this government that I think are corrupt," she said during her appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press."
She hammered at the administration Sunday for $105 billion included in last year's health care overhaul law for its implementation, regardless of the questions put to her. Bachmann called on the White House last week to apologize for the funding, which the Congressional Research Service reported in October.
The money was "hidden in various parts of the bill," she said Sunday. "Members of Congress didn't even know this money was in the bill, because we couldn't read the bill before it was passed, because it wasn't given to us but hours before we had to vote for it," she said.
Bachmann said she hasn't "made a decision either way about plans for" entering the 2012 presidential election.
"We can do so much better, she said. "And that's what I'm talking about with people in the next few months. We need to think very strongly. A second administration of Jimmy Carter wouldn't have done this country any favors. We need to make sure we don't have a second Barack Obama administration."
When asked if she had a timeline for making a decision about running, she responded, "I think there's a normal course of events when a decision like that will be made. And if I choose to go down that road, I'll make the decision."

why is that the young republican Women have some Balls, But the republican Men are nothing but a bunch of effeminate males who are looking more like eunuchs. no power but to do the bidding of the ruler, King Obama.
Come on Republican Males grow some balls! stand up and stop acting like balless wonders. Does not the 2010 election mean anything or are just going to back down to Obama. pass realistic budgetary cuts, have the Senate take the fall, when the budgets that are essentially let Odumbo veto it and once it is vetoed. The next time make sure the government gets shutdown, but put provisions making sure his OdumboCare is cut when the government is shutdown.
Stand Up male republicans and Grow some balls, stop being balless wonders, examples Paul Ryan, John Boehner are becoming wussies - small incremental cuts. BS show you have the tenacity and the guts to show what you are made of and why ‘We The People’ want real change in DC.
That was the continuing resolution. It only impacts a SMALL part of the gov't. Get on board or get out of the way. Thank you.
Most of your post is just a sick rant not related to the facts.

She and Alan West are my favs.
“Palin/Bachmann 2012”
Can you image?
I don’t know what we be more enjoyable.
Taking back America for the next 4 years. Or watching the Libs spontaneously combust.
Hehe ho ho All the dems slogans got to go!
Hey, the dems talking points are getting old,
Palin, was the biggest reason we GOP won the midterm elections.
Same old same old, Get Real!
Good for her!
Compare her and Palin’s balls to wimp, Mittens.
Palin/Bachmann, either or, I’m all over it!
I could live with that. But too much testosterone on the ticket for most American sheeple.
West just voted for smaller cuts!
“Palin allowed the Democrats to force her out of office and permanently brand her as one who can’t stand the heat.”
You forgot the /sarc tag. Palin afraid of heat?
HAW HAW HAW HAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
