Bachmann: Obama is infantile
Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) compared the president to a child in a toy store Friday.

Speaking to the Value Voters Summit in Washington, Bachmann asserted that Obama — a former constitutional law professor —thinks the key rights enumerated in the Declaration of Independence are negatives.

“That kind of thinking, to me, is infantilism,” she said.

“Barack Obama’s government has clearly betrayed our trust, the trust of the American people,” she said.

The controversial Minnesota Republican read at length from the Declaration of Independence, projected on two large video screens, and spoke at length about the tea party movement.

Why does her district tolerate her?

13. Not at all - that would imply she can figure out a PC.
It was on her "word of the day" calendar.

2. infantilism??????
Infantilism may refer to one of the following.
Psychological conditions:
Diaper fetishism involves a sexual attraction to diapers, exclusive of infancy fantasies.
Paraphilic infantilism involves a sexual attraction to diapers, and sometimes includes fantasies of a return to infancy. Sometimes referred to as autonepiophilia.
Psychosexual infantilism, a concept introduced by Freud.

10. The silly cow has no idea of what the word means
or how insulting it is to call any African American male "boy."

I really, really hope she's out of power this time, but I'm afraid we'll be stuck with her either way until she loses her looks.

Since she's not smart enough to be a mover and shaker at a right wing stink tank, when her looks go, so will she.

4. So, she's basically saying to Obama, "Just what do you think you're doing, boy?"
No, she's not racist. Not at all.

21. Is this part of the Palin/Beck campaign for "honor and integrity" in government?
Perhaps the tea-baggers need to look in a mirror before they start talking about others being reponsible for the loss of our core values.

Classic Freudian displacement and projection.

9. Yeah, keep running from the press, Michelle.
It doesn't make you look like a complete asshole or anything. Not any more than when you speak in public.

11. So the former president of the Harvard Law Review is infantile, is he
What nerve.

I'd like to see Bachmann or any other mouth-breathing GOP numbskull match wits with President Obama one-on-one.

Without the M$M there to edit reality.

He would make Bachmann's "intellect" look like the tiny pile of rat dung it truly is.

14. Would somebody please tell Rep. Bachmann
that the governing document of the United States is not the Declaration of Independence, but rather the Constitution. It doesn't matter what the President thinks is in the Declaration of Independence, although not for one minute do I think President Obama is unaware of exactly what the Declaration says. It matters what he believes, and as a former Constitutional Law professor, knows, is in the Constitution that matters. Rep. Bachmann is an embarrassment and an idiot.

15. The "Bill of Rights" is normally considered a list of negative rights.
Is that what she's talking about? Did she confuse "negative rights" with being negatives?

24. HA HA HA HA what a baby
If you go to a map of MN and check out the districts you will see that she has a screwed around one. It holds most of the republicans in the state. She is making her last stand. I posted this in another message. Her district which was especially drawn to hold all the republicans so they could be sure they got one in MN will be no more after this election. Since we lost a representative, her district is being broken up into two to be combined with the Democratic districts on either side of her. A republican has lost that district for ever. OR until we pick up enough people to get another representative and our state government turns republican. Which I doubt. The DFL is firmly entrenched.

26. If 2 of her brain cells ever connect, I hope she's not standing in a puddle
Or at least that there are no innocent bystanders.

WTF does a child in a toy store have to do with negatives? I can't watch the video, I just ate.

I think her logic is, as always, guanopsychoizm.
