I dont know how much God has to do to get the attention of the politicians, Bachmann told a group of residents on Floridas Gulf Coast on Sunday, referring to the need to rein in spending.

Weve had an earthquake; weve had a hurricane. He [God] said: Are you going to start listening to me here? Listen to the American people because the American people are roaring right now, Bachman said. The Republicans comments came less than a week after a magnitude 5.8 earthquake near Mineral, Virginia, shook a large stretch of the east coast, including areas that would have to brace for a hurricane days later. Irene, as both a hurricane and tropical storm, knocked out power for more than 1 million people and killed dozens, according media reports.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the victims, she said. This isnt something that we take lightly. My comments were not meant to be ones that were taken lightly. What I was saying in a humorous vein is there are things happening that politicians need to pay attention to. It isnt every day we have an earthquake in the United States.
