Fact Checking Michele Bachmann
Not many Minnesotans are laying money on having two Minnesota Republican candidates for President at the GOP convention in 2012. Not because they believe Tim Pawlenty or Michele Bachmann will be the decided endorsee coming out of primaries. But because neither partisans nor money bundlers think Tim can catch fire with the base. And because Michele is more than likely to get weighed down by the distortions in her diatribes.
Nobody’s calling her a liar, but just what does one do with “Obama is selling off all the oil in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve,” when in fact he decided the U.S. will be part of an international effort to impact oil prices by committing 4% of the 727 million barrels in the Strategic Petroleum Reserve Office.
