GOP presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) on Sunday accused President Obama of running the nation like a “banana republic.”

Bachmann during an interview on NBC’s Meet the Press said the administration had failed to cut spending and had put the nation in greater debt.

“We’re acting like Greece and like Italy, and that’s what people are frustrated with. They want us to act like a first-world nation,” said Bachmann. “Not like what president Barack Obama is doing. He’s acting like we’re a banana republic. We’ve got to get our act together, and stop spending money that we don’t have.”

When asked by host David Gregory if it was fair to compare the U.S. with the eurozone’s debt situation, Bachmann doubled-down on her comments.
“The decision that Barack Obama is making, is acting like a banana republic. It’s absolutely irresponsible what President Obama is doing to get behind measures to increase spending to such a level that we’re going in to debt, $1.5 trillion every year,” she said.

Bachmann also discussed a tense exchange with rival candidate Newt Gingrich during last Thursday’s GOP debate.

    Wow Michelle, I didn't know this! And Congress, both Dems and Republicans, keeps raising the debt ceiling to help him out! Now, how about offering a solution we can believe you could and would deliver, besides handing all our young men a rifle and shipping them off to Iran?

      Full funding for the DHS, TSA, EPA, DEA, BATFE, Dept of Education, EEOC, ad nauseum.

      And the Republicans in the House and Senate voted to allow the indefinite detainment of American citizens without the right to a lawyer. And the GOP supported the extension of the Patriot Act.

      But they also voted to decriminalize sodomy and bestiality in the armed forces.

      But most of the GOP geldings don't read any of the bills that they pass anyway…

    Banana Republic:

    Multiple choice:

    a) a country run by corrupt, greedy politicians who sell favors to the highest bidders. Opponents face legal challenges, jailtime and even threats of death.

    b) A banana republic is a magical place on PBS, where purple dinosaurs romp at taxpayer expense and love all the children.

    c) A world filled with talking pigs, frogs and the Tickle-Me-Elmo doll! A place where Harry Belafonte sings calypso songs, and the policemen sing showtunes!! And all at taxpayer expense….

    d) a store with overprised yuppie clothing and a pretense at social responsibility.

    e) a & d

      The best example of El Presidente of a banana republic is "El Presidente Pancho Hernando Gonzales Enrico Rodriguez of Eucuarico" on the third show of the second season of Gilligan's Island. It also involved the phrase "this, that, and the other thing" as in things one promises to one's supporters. It was a satire and aired on 30 September 1965.

    It's much worse than acting like a banana republic – we are turning the country under Mulah Obama into a communist subsidiary of government employees unions.

    O'Bama has proven he's a jerk, ILLEGAL/MUSLIM, his greatest item on his agenda is to bankrupt the US,and make us like a third world country obligated to abide by the government rules setup to run/RUIN our lives, IMPEACH this SOB, and send him back to Africa.

    • shannon853

      no! he is not a legal president so force that issue, void all he has signed into then shoot after a trial for treason along with those in congress that worked with him to destroy this country through their acts against the constitution and the american people. a fireing squad is needed to put this country back on track. jail is far too good for treason.

  • shannon853

    Whats a Banana Republic??? Just LOOK around. Most of the Lying Kenyans constituents are from Banana Republics. Just ask them. Oh, I forgot You can't, MOST of them don't speak English either. Press 2 for Banana Republic. Gotta Love Michele, she tells it like it is.

  • JMcCarthy

    Michele Bachmann is still the best Candidate running for President. Why aren't the Republicans supporting Michele as being the First Woman President? We know the answere to that: The Marxist Media AND the old guard "Republicans" want the RINO'S Romney or Gingrich. They also trot out Ron Paul as a sideshow EVERY year for entertainment value, at the Republicans expense and they have succeded in turning the Republican Primary into a circus sideshow, AGAIN!
