Bachmann ‘Serious’ About a 2012 Run: ‘This Isn’t a Game For Me’

There is no doubt in my mind that Bachmann’s heart is in the right place patriotically and idealogically. I just question her electability and whether or nor she can effectively implement a strategy to govern the United States of America.

From the Daily Caller:

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Minnesota Republican, ripped detractors of her potential presidential bid saying her decision on whether to run, coming “early summer,” is a “serious” one.

“This isn’t a game for me – this is a very serious decision, a momentous decision and I’m not making a rash decision,” Bachmann said. “I’m working with my advisers and my family. This is a very prudent, thoughtful, deliberate decision and a lot is going into this.”

Bachmann said what sets her apart from other potential candidates is that she’s got a “spine made out of titanium,” and she’s a “fighter.”

“If I tell people I am going to do something, or fight for them, I do it,” Bachmann told TheDC. “Even if means the mainstream media comes after me, I’m willing to stand and fight for them. That’s one thing, I think, that really sets me apart. People know that I’m authentic, I’m sincere, they can count on me. I’m not going to lie to people or tell them something that they want to hear. I don’t put my finger in the wind to test the political winds to see which way we should go. I’m strong and I’m principled.”

To Bachmann’s credit she did also take a shot at “birthers,” calling it “the least important issue in the United States right now.”

She’s right.
