Bachmann Blasts Obama on Healthcare, Stimulus Spending and Debt

Michele Bachmann took aim at Barack Obama over his outrageous spending, health care, and enormous debt incurred under his short time of heading the country.

Reminding Tea Party supporters that one of the major foundations of the movement is limited government, she said at Orange County, “I know that we have everything we need to put this country back on strong financial footing. The No. 1 way to do it is have the federal government spend less money than what they bring in. That’s what the Tea Party stands for.”

While Bachmann has been pressured since Rick Perry entered the presidential race, she remains a strong voice in the party, and it has yet to be determined her role in 2012.

That's not to say she won't regain traction in the race once the new wears off Perry's run for the presidency, as it has happened in the past with other candidates.

It's a sound strategy to not only go on the offensive against her Republican rivals, but also against the clueless, floundering and hapless Obama, whose popularity is diminishing at a fast rate, as his own base and the overall country weary of his ineptness and unwillingness to hear their voices.
