Michelle Bachmann Goes Out With A Bang: Her Outspoken Final Confrontation With Obama! :poop: Obama responded with a condescending smile... Outgoing Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann has made a name for herself as an outspoken conservative willing to speak her mind even when doing so means she will likely attract serious criticism from her ideological opponents. As her time in the U.S. House draws to a close, she proved her commitment to candor with the subject of her final one-on-one chat with Barack Obama. Bachmann told the Washington Free Beacon that, during this week’s White House Christmas party, she recognized she would likely never have such a forum as a member of Congress again. The retiring Republican explained she wanted to make her last comments to the sitting president “substantive” and, to the chagrin of her family, chose to address her continued concern regarding Iran’s potential procurement of nuclear weaponry. She noted that her family warned her that she could embarrass herself by bringing up such a subject; however, she waited until she had a moment alone with Obama and urged him to take action. “I turned to the president and I said something to the effect of, ‘Mr. President, you need to bomb the Iranian nuclear facilities; because if you don’t, Iran will have a nuclear weapon on your watch and the course of world history will change.’” Obama responded, she recalled, with a “condescending smile” and an admonition that “it’s just not that easy.” Bachmann asserted that, easy or not, a decisive attack on the growing threat Iran poses to the U.S. and the world is imperative to prevent widespread destruction. “I said to him, ‘No, Mr. President, you’re the president, it will happen on your watch and you’ll have to answer to the world for this.’” On that note, she said, the conversation ended. “And that was it,” she said, “and then I left. ‘Merry Christmas.’” As Western Journalism reported, negotiations with Iran regarding its nuclear capabilities were postponed until July after the most recent negotiations once again failed to reach an agreeable deal.
