Red, Green, and Blue Text: Bachmann Watch: Michele Bachmann vs. The Truth

Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann is at it again. The same woman who once said Congress should be investigated for those with anti-American leanings and once argued that she couldn't support the economic recovery act because America was "running out of rich people" has continued to make fantastic claims and lies – lies that can be quickly disproven.

swine flu outbreak:
"I find it interesting that it was back in the 1970s that the swine flu broke out then under another Democrat president Jimmy Carter. And I'm not blaming this on President Obama, I just think it's an interesting coincidence."

Actually...the swine flu outbreak Bachmann refers to began while Republican President Gerald Ford was in office. The first cases surfaced when some Fort Dix soldiers became ill:

"The Fort Dix cases became international news and spurred then-U.S. president Gerald Ford to begin a national flu vaccination program, which Jimmy Carter continued."
