Even Fox News who caters to the nitwit, Bachmann, knows she's headed out the door. Bachmann doesn't even know exactly what the President will offer, she just knows the Tea Party wants her to be against it. So after the President speech, Bachmann will jabber jaw some RW cheerleading mantra's on a late night Fox show. How exciting. NOT
A lot of Americans have just about had enough of the RW's disrespect for a sitting President. Saying NO to everything to cause harm to America is not very popular right now. American lives are at stake and this is why the Republican congress gets an 87% disapproval rating. No wonder Boehner and Cantor will wait until the following day after the speech to attack the President. Will this partisan hack bickering ever cease?
Ron Reagan recently said, "They (RW) want this President to fail, which means this economy has to fail for another year."
Bachmann to Hold Press Conference Post-Obama Speech
Bachmann's press conference is the most aggressive response to the president's speech offered by the campaigns so far. Former Utah Gov. John Huntsman will be appearing on Fox News' "On the Record With Greta Van Susteren" at 10 p.m. ET, but his campaign did not say whether they would have additional reaction. Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson will issue an email statement. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich will host a town hall meeting at New England College in Henniker, New Hampshire.
Other campaigns have not yet responded to FoxNews.com inquiries.
But Bachmann's move, likely to be hailed by the Tea Party base that supports her, is not likely to please House Republican leaders. House Speaker John Boehner announced several days ago that the GOP would give no rebuttal, a decision declared disrespectful by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The depth of juvenile disrespect and petty gamesmanship to which American politicians have sunk is nothing less than breathtaking. House Speaker John Boehner's rebuffing President Barack Obama's request to address Congress on the day he chose is shameful.
I am a dyed-in-the-wool liberal who considers President George W. Bush's tenure to be more detrimental than any in history. That being said, if I were asked (during his term) to provide a forum for the President of the United States to address my community, I would pull out all the stops.
Bush was, and Obama is, this country's leader. That trumps any debate, football, American Idol, or other nonsense. You make time for the President. Period.
America deserves better politicians than this.
