During an appearance on the Olive Tree Ministries radio show with host Jan Markell, former Minnesota GOP congresswoman Michele Bachmann warned listeners about the prospect of a Joe Biden presidency and floated a conspiracy theory about whod be really running the country is Biden is elected.
It is my opinion that Joe Biden will not be the admining president in the sense that we think of a president, Bachmann said in an audio clip flagged by Right Wing Watch. Hell be a figurehead and this will become Barack Obamas third term.
The entire Obama team will be onboard with their fellow travelers and they will be running the country, so in effect, the country will be run by a team team Obama.
I dont believe that the big decisions will actually be made by Joe Biden, she added.

The truth has become apparent outside RWNJ circles: the Republican Party is no longer capable of governing honestly or competently. The last Republicans who could come close are either very old or very dead. President Obamas two terms were bookended by two disastrously incompetent Republican presidential administrations.

(935 posts)Imagine having a competent president running the show! Next thing you know, Obama will help the Governors with testing, ppe and ventilators (red state or blue state Chris Christie)! Oh how much better it would be if we were dealing with this pandemic without our kids on our insurance until they're 26? We don't need thoughtful, kind, intelligent people running our government! All we need is God, guns, and fear!

(33,403 posts)The GOPer cry across the land then was that "The Pope" would be running the country from the Vatican.
Bachmann is blowing the latest dog-whistle to see if the deplorables start foaming at the mouth.

(864 posts)and I became an anti-war activist and am a veteran of the Civil Rights Movement in Alabama. Worked with ACLC, Virginia and Clifford Durr, did research for Morris Dees in the early days of his efforts, wrote a speech for Julian Bond that he gave supporting the National Democratic Party of Alabama challenge to the regular Democratic Party of Alabama at the Miami Convention, and was the campaign manager for a Black candidate for congress, Richard Boone.
People did believe that a Cathoic would be beholden to the Pope. I don't think they will float this one against Biden though. Lol!

(9,966 posts)... she's correct. "Obama team" will be back... however, I doubt there will be much of a role for Obama, himself. He will be an adviser, as ex-Presidents normally are... but Presidents make their own "big decisions." Still, it will be nice to have many of Crooked Donald's allies out of government!

(54,436 posts)Biden will talk to Obama because he's NOT an idiot. But he'll run his own show with his own people, and I'll let you all in on some secret information: he will not be changing his staff at the rate on one every sixteen hours.
On the other hand, this quote does raise a serious question:
WHY THE HELL IS ANYONE LISTENING TO ANYTHING BACHMANN SAYS????

(11,885 posts)He handled the Ebola outbreak correctly, saved us from a depression, saved the financial situation from getting worse, saved the auto industry which republicans were against, and no one convicted or charged with corruption from self dealings or insider trading. I would also be confident he was working for the people, not for himself at all times. He also believed in the truth and science.
