Rep. Bachmann Calls President Obama "Anti-American"... Again

In October 2008, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) set off a controversy when she declared that candidate Barack Obama had "very anti-American" views.  "I wish the American media would take a great look at the views of the people in Congress and find out if they are pro-America or anti-America," she added. 

Last night, Bachmann reprised the allegation during a speech to the anti-choice Susan B. Anthony List, suggesting that the passage of health care reform proved she was right. "Now I look like Nostradamus," Bachmann said.  

Bachmann also said that her controversial remarks of more than a year ago - in which she called Obama "anti-American" and suggested members of Congress be investigated for "anti-American activities" - have proven prophetic.

"I said I had very serious concerns that Barack Obama had anti-American views," she said. "And now I look like Nostradamus."
