Choose your weapon.
Michele Bachmann voted against raising the debt and definitely did want to default;
now she's ranting about how the president is to blame for this horrible downgrade.
She WANTED a downgrade, and more. As did any and all conservatives who were willing to default.
and now of course, you will be so kind as to cite just ONE instance where Michelle Bachmann stated she wanted us to default, right?
Nobody wants us to default (or at least they aren't so stupid as to state that). The debate has been over whether we would default and whether, if we did, it would be a big deal.
On that regard, I would be happy to give you Bachmann's words.
“This is a misnomer that I believe that the president and the Treasury secretary have been trying to pass off on the American people, and it’s this: that if Congress fails to raise the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion, that somehow the United States will go into default and we will lose the full faith and credit of the United States. That is simply not true.”
Michele Bachmann’s defaulty logic - The Washington Post
So Bachmann magically believed our credit rating would have been preserved if we had failed to act and had an even bigger crisis?
What planet does she live on?
Bachmann was for the downgrade before she was against it.
