Michele Bachmann: Hillary Clinton Should Be Disqualified From The Presidency

WASHINGTON -- Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) roused a sleepy gathering of social conservatives on Friday with a spirited speech railing against Hillary Clinton, whose record at the State Department "should disqualify her from ever being considered for the presidency."

"Hillary Clinton reinforces daily to the American people that she is not commander in chief material. She fails to inspire confidence in practically anything that she's touched," Bachmann said at the Road to Majority Conference, an annual gathering sponsored by the Faith and Freedom Coalition.

"Mrs. Clinton has to explain to the American people why she repeatedly ignored request after request for increased security in the Benghazi mission compound. She has to explain to the American people why, when Americans were under attack, she failed to pick up the phone and call the commander in chief and demand he send in reinforcements to rescue our brave Americans on the ground," she added.

The former GOP presidential candidate claimed that Clinton, who is considering a run for president in 2016, bungled a recent interview with Fox News about the involvement of Ahmed Abu Khattala, a suspect in the Benghazi attacks who Bachmann said was "weirdly picked up" by U.S. forces last weekend.

So, your hypocrisy makes you not only unable to serve or unfit to serve as president, but were you to apply to clean dog shit from kennels at the local pound, you should be denied such a job, based on your inhumanity and dogs deserve better.

President? Simple answer, they would like to not have her on the DNC ticket so maybe one of the people they may be able to present. They are scared of her. They are upset because Khattala has been arrested because it will probably kill their lies about Benghazi. When a GOP is moving their lips, it just might be a lie.
