US Embassy in Iran? Michele Bachmann’s ‘Oops’ Moment

At least she didn’t sell weapons to the Iranians like Reagan did.

Ahhh, Michele, Michele… You give me my daily laugh. A day without a guffaw is a day without Michele. I recommend that she be named comedienne of the year and hired as town fool to the President.

“That’s exactly what I would do [if I were president]. We wouldn’t have an embassy in Iran. I wouldn’t allow that to be there.”
.
Boy, the words where she says “we have a U.S. embassy in Iran” are in there somewhere… let me read Molly Hunter’s “report” again. Hmmmm…. still can’t find it. Molly? Help us out here?

Actually there are 60 Muslim states. Way to keep the false stories going. I guess you don’t know how to use Google.

Ok, I’m not a Bachman supporter – really I’m not (I don’t dislike her, she’s just not by choice). But, if you take out the text added by journalists “[if I were president]” then her statement, as she gave it, reads “That’s exactly what I would do. We wouldn’t have an embassy in Iran. I wouldn’t allow that to be there.” My take is she’s saying she agreed with and supports what the UK did, and is saying if another country attacked a US embassy she would do the same thing. Like if a friend’s wife cheats on him, I’d say “I’d kick her to the curb,” even though we are not married. II could be wrong, but for Bachmans faults, which she does have, she actually knows her way around foreign affairs.

“That’s exactly what I would do [if I were president]. We wouldn’t have an embassy in Iran. I wouldn’t allow that to be there.”

This is a new version of the republicans with foreign policy experience: “You can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska”

In the Bering Strait there are two islands. Big Diomede is in Russian territory. Little Diomede is part of Alaska. At their closest points they are about two and a half miles apart. Anyone not blinded with partisan bias would be able to see Russia from land in Alaska.

Actually we do have an embassy in Iran. Thanks to Jimmy Carter we no longer occupy it. So suck on that one you lib-dem idiots.

So, 2hundredthousand, when Obama make mistake after mistake, it’s always a ‘slip of the tongue’… but when others make mistakes, it shows their stupidity? Can we say HYPOCRITE?

2hundredthousand, did you also travel on that INTER-Continental Railroad President Obama praised America for achieving in the past?

She didnt say there IS a U.S. embassy in Iran she just said she wouldnt allow one to be there now. I agree with her, not the way Iran is now anyway. Way to misquote someone ABCNEWS. She ought to come after the media for misquoting her and taking it out of context.

3 letter word – JOBS

This woman is so stupid as to give morons a bad name. No wonder that in all of her 6 years in Congress, she’s never done her job and originated a single piece of legislation, even one’s to do all of the cost cutting she claims to want.

Those who stormed British embassy in Tehran were not students. They were all members of Basij militia. Iranian people are not like that, Basij members are paid and organized by the regime, most of Iranian people hate these Basiji members to their guts.

Roscoe, one day beleivers will be with The LORD Jesus Christ in glory enjoying eternity with The God that saved them from the eternity where your going. There is still time to repent toward God and place your faith and trust ONLY toward The LORD Jesus Christ. (Acts. 20:21)KJB.

How pathetic ABC…. obviously her quote is an IF and that the other country did the right thing… Lame. And you know it or wouldn’t have worded it as a queston “Did she have her oops..?”. Cause you KNOW that wasn’t what she said, but you needed a headline I guess. Can’t imagine why I don’t pay for network channels… You’d have to pay me.

This woman is an embarrassment to our Country. Just being able to be a hopeful for President of this Country is so sad and disappointing to me as an American.

people, the, mommy mommy he did it too, argument is getting a bit old and pathetic.

Context, people… CONTEXT rules. Don’t be so quick to shoot from the hip until you check what she is actually saying. Nothing wrong with being passionate for or against a candidate but pursue the TRUTH on any matter. Bachmann is bright and well educated and informed. This is not a gaffe. Spreading misinformation is not good for anybody.

So she was speaking in the hypothetical, was she…. well that explains a LOT…. she must speak in the hypothetical often because otherwise she is a MORON, as are her staff….

“Context, people… CONTEXT rules” No. English grammar rules,. And either her English grammar is worse than that of my eight year old son or she messed up. It would have been correct to say she wouldn’t PUT an embassy there. Her conditionals and tenses are wrong.

Michelle, you are totally missing the point. No one denies that you can see Russia from Alaska. The point is, when Sarah Palin was asked what kind of foreign policy experience she had with Russia, her response was that she could see Russia from her state. Being able to see a country doesn’t give you any foreign policy experience with that country. It’s sort of like saying, “I think I’m qualified to be an astronaut, because I can see the moon.” It may be a poor analogy, but hopefully you get my point.

At least Reagan didn’t sell gun’s to Mexican Drug cartels to be later used in the shooting death of a DEA agent.

Querkle. You had me until “I read Anne Coulter”.

From that point you have nothing nonpartisan to say.

These politicians don’t run the country. Big money does. So it would be entertaining to see this ditz fumbling around with that prozac smile on her face.

Juliannas Uncle, Moe liberal BS. Ahmadinejad is about say 45 yrs old. In 1980 he would have been 12 to 15 most likely. I am sure the GOP hired him. After the Shaw was tossed out entered Koheme or whatever his name was. Carter was a failure much like the one we have now. Only reason Obam would ever be re elected is the amount of big money he is spending to continue to brain wash the idiots.

jrc903, Obam has had plenty of gaffes himself although the liberal media rarely reports them.The funniest being what most 5 yrs. know. No we do not have 57 states.

Dear Readers and Commentators:

I truly beg you, for God’s sake, DO NOT uses title of “students” for these crowd. Even Kids in Iran know that they are not students. They are the same Thugs and Hooligans that killed Iranian People after the rigged election of 2009. They get their order from the Leader and as you can see obviously in the photos and movies, security and diplomatic police almost do nothing to prevent them. Even police are scared of them. Iranian Green Movement highly condemn this tragedy and Do NOT forget and I am quite sure you can distinguish the huge difference between Iranian Government and Iranian People.

Thank you,
May the Allover the World Be in Peace Some Day Soon.

But…did obama have ANOTHER ooops moment?

In case the media didn’t notice, there is NO “english” embassy anywhere on the planet…but, of course, they wouldn’t NOTICE obama saying that, would they?

Too bad that ABC and MSM doesn’t have the present administration under a microscope as well. Will we ever hear from the MSM what is going on with the clowns in the White House?

How convenient that you don’t post that Obama referred to it as the “English” embassy. The country is Great Britain, which includes England, Scotland and Wales and not the United Kindgom wihch includes N. Ireland. But, it most certaintly not the English Embassy.

Yawn :-o !! Really, the woman is irrelevant in this election cycle. She poses no threat to Obama, yet the mainstream media in kahoots with the Obama WH are adamant in destroying this woman and the black conservative who also poses no threat to Obama. I have to ask myself why? I think all woman and blacks around the nation should ask why? In the case of the right wanting to destroy Obama, I call that “just cause”. He is relevant and indeed poses a threat to this nation. But come-on, why is ABC wasting their time on a black man and this woman?

Wow, they really looked hard to find the most unflattering picture they could.
Talentless Hacks.

Funny how ABC jumps to report on this but somehow doesn’t mention that Obama thinks the British embassy is called the English embassy? Seriously, all of your newscasts should come with a byline that they are paid for by the DNC.

Molly Hunter has written a significant and important article that deserves front page news for
the Tabloid ABC News. What a joke ABC News has become!

I don’t care who will be the US President. They are all the same as far as I, as an Iranian, am concerned, but Michelle made me laugh. I hope she knows at least how many states make US! While we average Iranians have a deep respect for you, US people, your politicians are quite disgusting. They just see as far as next election, with no long term vision for US and world, despite what they claim.

Must be a slow morning for campaign news. I am no Bachmann supporter, but this is not a slip up on the level of classics like “Cain on Libya” or “Perry on gov’t programs”. Typical decontextualized quote and hyperbolic media response.

Tom, You are missing the point. There was more to that answer than what you are reporting. The MSM only played the sound bite that they wanted you to hear. Anything to get their Obama elected.

Go find the transcript and read the whole answer to the question.

Yes, I think Bachman would be a disaster–she’s already a disaser–HOWEVER, is this a fair report? Look at the parenthetical editor’s note: “If I were president.” Couldn’t that editorial note also say, “If I were Prime Minister”??

Once again, the media’s desperation is showing. This was not a gaffe, not even close.

This is just another pathetic attempt to de-rail her that will fail just as miserably as Nancy Pelosi’s personal goal to destroy Michele’s re-election bid in 2010 at any cost. How’d that work out?

Please stop trying to defend Bachmann by throwing rocks at Obama. If you want to have an intelligent debate use her good points as a defense. Its petty and childish to try to make her look good by bringing down someone else. Do you suppose you drag Obama into it because you really can’t defend her any other way? Intelligent people are typically given a pass when they make errors. When I look at her less than stellar political body of work combined with a penchant for gaffes I begin to wonder if the lights are on upstairs.

Her god told her to run for president

Remember we pay her salary.We are the taxpayers.It scares me that someone this stupid is in a position of authority! I think everyone needs to realize that most politicians,regardless of party affiliation, are out of touch with reality on how tough times are here in the U.S. They don’t care!
My only comment is for everyone to get out and vote for whomever!

The point isn’t that whether or not one can see Russia from land in Alaska. The point is whether or not being able to see Russia from land in Alaska equals having foreign policy experience. Anyone not blinded with partisan bias would realize that.
