Michele Bachmann is worried about liberals putting John Boehner in a box and the Tea Party's rigid budget
stance being viewed by "Howard Dean's liberal press buddies" as political? Oh, please spare me.

Now right after she says this, she blames "Obamacare" for having to raise the debt ceiling, because she wants to "change the arc of history." Swearing she will vote against any raise in the debt ceiling while "Obamacare" is still funded, she lays down the tea party challenge. Which isn't political. Not at all, no way, no how.

Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies.

Bonus: CBO Director rebukes her directly for lying about "hidden healthcare spending".
