Lies, two days in a row but they're still not as good as her loony $200MILLION A DAY vacation lie that the nutters here embraced and probably had tattooed across their substantial behinds.
Bachmann's attack on lavish Obama lifestyle gets four Pinocchios | MinnPost
Bachmann's attack on lavish Obama lifestyle gets four Pinocchios | MinnPost
Speaking at the CPAC conference on Saturday, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann came up with a relatively new line of attack on Pres. Obama. The Obamas are living too high in the White House on your tax dollars with public employees to walk their dog while disabled veterans can't even get a White House tour. Here's the quote:
A new book is out talking about the perks and the excess of the $1.4-billion-a-year presidency that were paying for. And this is a lifestyle that is one of excess. Now we find out that there are five chefs on Air Force One. There are two projectionists who operate the White House movie theater. They regularly sleep at the White House in order to be readily available in case the first family wants a really, really late show. And I dont mean to be petty here, but cant they just push the play button? We are also the ones who are paying for someone to walk the presidents dog, paying for someone to walk the presidents dog? Now, why are we doing that when we cant even get a disabled veteran into the White House for a White House tour? That isnt caring![/QUOTE]
And still four more Pinocchios for Bachmann | MinnPost
This time its Bachmanns assertion that of every dollar that the government supposedly spends to help the poor, as she said:
70 cents of that dollar that's supposed to go to the poor doesn't. It actually goes to benefit the bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. 70 cents on the dollar. That's how the president's caring works in practice. So $3 in food stamps for the needy, $7 in salaries and pensions for the bureaucrats who are supposed to be taking care of the poor. So with all due respect, I ask you, how does this show that our president cares about the poor?
As usual, Bachmanns office wouldnt respond to Kesslers requests for backup. He was able to find a couple of previous statements by conservatives that appear to be the likely sources for Bachmanns statement, except that she didnt cite them accurately.
She really is the gift that keeps on giving.
