COMMENTARY | Michele Bachmann, to the point of exasperating NBC's David Gregory on "Meet The Press," pointedly reiterated that the Obama administration had, along with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, deceptively hidden away more than $105 billion in health care appropriations in the budget. It is also a claim she made in a video posted on Thursday on her own website.
"Practically no member of Congress even knew that $105 billion of funding was contained," Bachmann said in the video, then repeated on "Meet The Press."
Taking a page out of Sarah Palin's interview strategy book by hedging and misdirecting, then speaking about whatever topic she wanted (which was for the most part the $105 billion in health care reform appropriations), Bachmann avoided many of the questions put to her on "Meet The Press." But there was one topic she was clear on: Obamacare.
She accused the Obama administration and Democratic leaders of deception and "legislative fraud," and that such acts should be met with defunding or repealing of Obamacare. Bachmann noted Republicans (and implied that other congressmen were equally unknowing) just recently found out about the "deception."

WEST is my other fav, man, you are a freaking mind reader.
I would give money right now!
I like the Godfathers Pizza guy way of communicating. I just don’t know enough about his ideas.
West just seems like an open book to me. Totally transparent.
LOL
Me thinks $105 billion is the tip of the iceberg, signed Cap’n Obvious
Well, the money is already out there...
Convince (or compell) the recipients of that wad of cash to turn it back in and see what happens...
The problem I have with this now is that if the bill had not passed, would the hidden appropriations be fraudulent???
So now that it is law, does that mean the law itself and those who inserted these appropriations in the last two hours before the vote make it illegal???
Not that I am playing devils advocate here, but it seems to me that it was highly irregular, and underhanded to do this, yet it does not appear to be illegal in the conventional sense...
It just pizzes everyone off, and I am hip to that, totally...
The key here is to find out who’s palm got greased, why, and then bring the court of public opinion down on them hard!!!
Thats about all we can do...
West/ Bachmann 2012 ..<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
I would vote that ticket. Over 100 million of us would.
I didn’t say don’t get lathered about what Bachman revealed, just not to take this hippie’s scrawling seriously.
I believe the decision by Obama to announce continuation of military tribunals in Guantanamo was a diversion used to draw attention away from the Obamacare fraud.
” Michele’s over the target. The moonbats are barking. “
Good for her. We need more straight talking reps to get the truth out there.
The test will be in the primaries to see who will further expose O Wanna B’s CHANGE for what it is.
