Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) appeared the other day on the Fox Business Channel, and during the interview she was asked exactly what she meant when she connected swine flu outbreaks to Democratic administrations. She immediately changed the subject, as you can see at the 0:55 mark:
“Well, actually, I had a full, uh, conversation that I was having with another station — primarily about the economy, because that’s what we’re worried about right now,” said Bachmann. “And we had just found out about the swine flu at that time, the aggressive nature of how far it was progressing. So the real topic of conversation was on the economy, as it should be. The economy right now is at a situation where we’re not seeing the level of recovery that we would like to see.”
She then proceeded to talk about the harmful effects of President Obama’s big spending and the stimulus bill, and how without the stimulus the recovery would have already been happening.
The fun part here is that this exchange is from a clip that was posted on her own YouTube account.
