Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) told Fox News Channel host Eric Bolling on Thursday that she believes the position of Senate Democrats and President Barack Obama is not productive. Bachmann said that it was right of House SpeakerJohn Boehner to send only a small group of Republicans to the White House because the House GOP is “not interested in a lecture” from the president.
“I think John Boehner made exactly the right call,” Bachmann said of the House GOP’s decision to only send a handful of Republican House members to meet with Obama as opposed to the entire conference. “He’s been making a lot of very good calls recently, and one of the calls is that he refused to have 200 Republicans go to the White House where would we all sit through a lecture from, with all due respect, Professor Obama.”
“This is a president whose administration’s position has been, again with all due respect, we’re going to hold our breath until we turn blue,” Bahcmann continued. “That’s not a position.”
Bolling asked Bachmann to react to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid who said on Thursday that Republicans in Congress “do not know what they want.”
Bachmann said that the Democratic position has been “hilarious.” She summarized it as, “We win, and then after we win absolutely everything, then you can come over and we’ll talk.”
“That’s an insulting comment to make to the American people,” Bachmann continued. “Now it’s time for the president to actually lead and not be a passive participant and be a part of these talks.”
