And this time it's Barack Obama who's part of an "Islamist" conspiracy to destroy freedom...
From a seventeen minute video interview on "Politichick" (no, I'm not kidding, the entire video is below:)
Politichick: "Besides Barack Obama, what do you consider the number one threat in America today?"
Really. That was the question; besides the President of the United States, what do you consider the number one threat to America?
And Bachmann's answer to what's the biggest threat to America, except for Obama?
"Obamacare." If Obamacare stands, "we're slamming the door shut on a constitutional republic" and "effectively we're becoming a dictatorship." (At 6:22 in the time code.)
"...this president has been more dangerous than any other American president, perhaps in American history, when it comes to foreign policy...the terrorism theat couldn't be greater. We're seeing a hyperkinetic level of terrorist activity and Barack Obama has a lot to do with that." (After 7:10 in the time code.)
But it gets worse:
(CONTINUED)
BACHMANN: "...how realistic (is it,) that we see the rise of Sharia, not only in the Middle East, but here in the United States. The fact is: it is realistic. If you look at the threat on our southern border, literally for decades now, the Iranian presence has been growing. Whether it's Venezuela, Ecuador, Belize, Bolivia, the Iranian threat is growing...many Iranians have been coming in to South America and now they're penetrating our southern border. We're seeing weaponry, we're seeing terrorist elements coming into the United States." (After 8:07 in the time code.)
BACHMANN: "And when I look at the Obama administration, I see every single action that this administration has taken when it comes to dealing with foreign policy and terrorism has been one of unilateral disarmament of this nation."(After 10:38 in the time code.) That moment's a bit strange, given that in the same interview she grudgingly acknowledged Obama's "tactical" success in taking out Bin Laden and other terrorists. She also calls Iran "a third-world basket case," so I guess she's not gunning for the State Department in the next GOP administration.
The solution to stopping Iran from acquiring nukes? According to Bachmann here, Obama should have been sanctioning Iran all along. Hmmm...
(After 12:09 in the time code:)
POLITICHICK: I don't know if you can answer this...why is (Obama) doing this? What are his intentions? Because most of the people that I deal with in my life, they think that his intentions are really evil.
BACHMANN: Well, I can't ascribe to the President what the thoughts and intentions of his heart is (sic.) No one can. No one knows what they are. All I can say, is we can look objectively at what actions the President has taken...Every action (Obama) has taken has hurt the United States and our ability to be the military superpower of the world and the economic superpower of the world, and instead he has empowered the Islamist organizations across the world. That speaks for itself, and people have to draw their own conclusion.
POLITICHICK: (whispers) I've got mine.
There's a happy ending, though... after Bachmann's call for financial help from concerned Americans around the country in the upcoming election, Politichick gives Michele a Politichick tee-shirt and makes her an honorary member.
