Bachmann 2012? “We’re inching closer”
Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., told Fox News Thursday evening her recent trips to early primary states are moving her a "step closer" to making a decision about running for president next year. Bachmann said she has not yet made up her mind but is giving the possibility of a White House bid, "serious consideration." Bachmann also talked about what her strengths would be as a candidate.
"I think what I bring to the table is the fact that I'm a fighter. I'm authentic. I'm the same person when I campaign as I am when I'm elected to public office," Bachmann said.
Bachmann also talked about foreign policy on Fox News, criticizing President Barack Obama for intervening in Libya without consulting Congress or the American people. Bachmann also accused the Obama administration of "incoherence" regarding its Libya policy.
