Bachmann: Obama falling farther than any president in history

Rep. Michele Bachmann hit Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace to talk about repealing health care reform and defend her stance that President Obama may hold anti-American views (though she says it’s anti-American “policies”). She also said, “If you look at the approval numbers for President Obama, he’s fallen faster and farther than any previous president in the polling.”

Wallace began the interview by asking Bachmann if she had any reservations about calling Obama a radical with anti-American views.

WALLACE: Again, I guess the question is a matter of rhetoric — anti-American, the most radical. You don’t have any problem saying that?

BACHMANN: I think these policies are among the most radical we have ever seen in the history of the country. I mean, clearly, the country has never gone this far in taking over this much of the private economy. And it is changing the way that we’re doing business in the United States forever. And I don’t think it’s going in a good direction.

WALLACE: But can it — obviously, you strongly — and a lot of Americans strongly disagree with the president’s policies. Can’t you disagree with his policies without saying that he’s anti-American?

BACHMANN: Well, I didn’t say that he was anti-American when I was on Sean Hannity’s show. That is — I said that his policies are radical. And I think they are.
