Former Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) compared President Obama on Tuesday to the man authorities believe intentionally crashed a commercial airliner into the French Alps last week.

In a Facebook post, Bachman wrote:

With his Iran deal, Barack Obama is for the 300 million souls of the United States what Andreas Lubitz was for the 150 souls on the German Wings flight — a deranged pilot flying his entire nation into the rocks. After the fact, among the smoldering remains of American cities, the shocked survivors will ask, why did he do it?

Germanwings Flight 9525 was flying from Barcelona to Dusseldorf on March 24 when it crashed into a mountainside, killing all on board.

  2. I’m really happy she retired.

    It hasn’t improved her mood, but whatever.

  3. Tracy - You had me at “Former”

  4. She’s “retired” in that she no longer has to sit around Congress getting a paycheck for making dumb statements. Instead, she’s a freelancer for dumb statements now.

  5. Oh Michelle Bachman, go F yourself.
