As she is facing numerous federal investigations that could land her in prison, Rep. Michele Bachmann is claiming that President Obama is a threat to America’s survival.

Bachmann said,

You see, our movement at its core, is an intellectual movement. We are based on the greatest ideas that have ever been conceived in the minds of man. I would put those magnificent ideas up against any other idea for freedom in the world. Because the Constitution, limited government, free enterprise, strong families, these are the principles that have passed the test of time. Nothing in our constitution says government is supposed to be a charity.

Government is not the family. It is not the church, and certainly, it should never be our doctor’s office. And you know as well as I do that America hasn’t survived for more than two hundred years because of Washington bureaucracy. It has survived because it has been preserved by the millions of men and women who have risen to the challenge, and made our country great, and we will survive Barack Obama too.

Now is a good time to remind everyone that Michele Bachmann is the focus of no less than four federal and state investigations surrounding her 2012 presidential campaign. Bachmann is the central player in an FBI investigation into allegations of money laundering and wire fraud. The Department of Justice is investigating her presidential campaign for illegal coordination with a super PAC. Her campaign bribed an elected official in Iowa, and she is the focus of a House Ethics Committee investigation.

While in the middle of her one woman campaign crime wave, Michele Bachmann wants you to believe that the real problem is that Barack Obama wants to extend unemployment benefits, raise the minimum wage, and give 40 million Americans access to affordable healthcare. Bachmann may be the perfect mouthpiece for the do as I say, not as I do activists that populate CPAC, but to everyone else, she is the living embodiment of Republican hypocrisy. Bachmann claimed that the government is not a charity, but she took over $1.1 million from taxpayers in the form of farm subsidies, salary, and benefits.

Michele Bachmann probably believes that the criminal activity that forced her out of Congress is also President Obama’s fault. The biggest threat to America isn’t Barack Obama. The largest threat facing our nation is corrupt charlatans like Michele Bachmann who are wrap themselves in the flag and Constitution while using their elected position to take millions from the taxpayers.
