Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said Thursday that Americans are alarmed that President Barack Obama may cut defense spending at a time when the Soviet Union is becoming a power in the world. “When you are traveling — I know you are in South Carolina now, you’re obviously in Iowa, you’re up in New Hampshire — are you hearing different things in these states?” Christian radio host Jay Sekulow asked the candidate. “I would say it’s a unified message,” Bachmann explained. “It really is about jobs and the economy. That doesn’t mean people haven’t [sic] forgotten about protecting life and marriage and the sanctity of the family. People are very concerned about that as well.” “But what people recognize is that there’s a fear that the United States is in an unstoppable decline. They see the rise of China, the rise of India, the rise of the Soviet Union and our loss militarily going forward. And especially with this very bad debt ceiling bill, what we have done is given a favor to President Obama and the first thing he’ll whack is five hundred billion out of the military defense at a time when we’re fighting three wars. People recognize that.” This audio is from the Jay Sekulow Live!, recorded Aug 18, 2011.

The rise of the Soviet Union>??????? Was this interview from 1955?
Oh she is a gift that will keep on giving, indeed! LOL
LOL Aw, JEEZ.... She makes Palin look intelligent... [No small feat.]
What the hell is wrong with our system? Why do candidates make these blunders that even a 5th grader woulnd't make? Whether it's Obama campaigning in 57 states, or Bachmann talking about the Soviet Union, I cannot understand how someone at this level of pursuiing the highest office in the land is so unprepared. I think we'd do better if we just drew people's names out of a hat. (We certainly couldn't do any worse.)
