Congresswoman Michele Bachmann on Wednesday called President Obama "out of touch" following his statement of support for gay marriage.

He vetoed thousands of American jobs, maintained our nation’s dependence on foreign oil and unnecessarily wounded our relationship with Canada, a country that provides 20 percent of America’s oil imports every year. At a time when over 13 million Americans do not have a job and the average price of gas is $3.69, the President’s decision to cancel the pipeline’s construction is inexcusable.

The question we should ask Rep Bachmann is does she think the majority are not smart …   more ›
