Michele Bachmann Hints at Running for President

Michele Bachmann

As if Rick Santorum floating his name out there for the Republican Presidential nomination weren't enough.  Now another anti-LGBT politician is hinting that someday, she might like to reside at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.  That person is Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), a rather right-wing politician who said that gay marriage is the single biggest threat the United States has faced in the past thirty years.

*shudder*  And many thought the last eight years were a nightmare.

Rep. Bachmann told World Net Daily (WND) that she pictures herself as the ultimate political underdog, and could see her taking her fighter status all the way to the Oval Office.  That is, if the Lord Jesus Christ told her to run for President.  And we're not making that up.

"If I felt that's what the Lord was calling me to do, I would do it," Bachmann told WND.  "When I have sensed that the Lord is calling me to do something, I've said yes to it. But I will not seek a higher office if God is not calling me to do it. That's really my standard. If I am called to serve in that realm I would serve."

Could somebody please get on the phone with the Lord and ask him not to place any phone calls to Michele Bachmann?

Bachmann has made a name for herself in Congress by blaming Democrats for Swine Flu, for saying that Jesus (and not Nancy Pelosi) could save the planet from global warming, for boycotting the 2010 U.S. census, and for supporting a Constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.

Of course, before Bachmann plans any nationwide runs for office, she has to get through what will likely be the toughest re-election of her life in 2010.
