Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) was interviewed by Greta Van Susteren Wednesday night on Fox News, and addressed the mounting buzz that she might run for president — and she did not rule it out.
“I think that came up because I’m planning to do a series of speeches down in Iowa,” Bachmann said. “And that’s my home state, I was born in Iowa. But I’m planning to go down there and talk about why we need to have — make sure that we repeal (sic) President Obama in 2012, just like today we had a repeal (sic) of Speaker Pelosi today in the House.”
She also said that she is “not focused on my own personal ambitions,” and brought out a bunch of charts on the issues of the national debt — a sure sign from any politician that they are focused on their personal ambitions. Now, that ambition might be an actual run for president, or perhaps just teasing at one in order to keep in the spotlight. We’ll find out in the months to come.
