Poem Dedicated to Michele Bachmann

"Sitting Back Shaking My Head"

May you please help me to understand why you dropped out of the race.
  I had so much faith in you, I just knew you would win.
Crazy thoughts go through my head as I try to figure things out.
 Haters in Iowa, your hometown, is this what its about?
Each day I think on how I planned to vote for you.
   Loving all the things that once did and still do.
Each time that I see you in the news, I never seemed to be confused.

  Best President runner up I have seen in a while.
And to be a women, you made me more proud.
   Checking the news more than ever just to see if you had anything to say.
Helping others to understand you more.
  Made me more focus on election than ever before.
Awesome role model in all that you have done.
Now I am sad because I know you could have won.
  Next time I will have more faith in you, or will there be a next.
Well Mrs. Bachmann I wish you the best!

Michele Bachmann's Wonderful Fashion

 Even though Mrs., Michele Bachmann did not win the Iowa caucus she stood out with her wonderful fashion. According to Christina Logothetis, Bachmann’s style was a classic feminine style. Her choice of clothing was very presentable, but not working towards grabbing attention or being flirtatious to the crowd. According to Alison Lukes, her suit was a power suit. Bachmann’s clothing was good, but not so good that people began to ask her about the clothing. People continued to see her just as one of us even though she did present herself looking very nice.
Not only is Bachmann smart, but she also has the fashion to come with it. Along with her clothing, she wears her make up and hair very nice. She presented herself as feminine, but more as how a Presidential Candidate should look. She was also rewarded with compliments from many because she presented herself with solid colors instead of bright colors and trying to stand out. She deserves compliments for that because so many people are stuck on getting attention instead of getting their job done.
I am all for fashion and I find it interesting that Michele Bachmann can keep her fashion up along with focusing on her challenges and whatever job she has to get done. It is good that she presents herself with being non stress and as the beautiful woman she is even though I am pretty sure that stress comes with the job. I am very proud of Michele Bachmann, even while not being a Republican because she represents herself very well with all things. I still wish that she had never dropped out the race.

Michelle Bachmann Endorsement

In June of 2011, “Michelle Bachmann first announced that she was running for President at the Republican debate of presidential primary candidates” (NCRenegade). Bachmann is originally from Iowa, and was raised by a single mother. Bachmann currently has, “three degrees, two law degrees, the latter of which is in tax law” (NCRenegade). She also has worked at the IRS and in 1993 she along with other parents opened a K- 12 charter school, due to the mal opinions on Education. After being involved with the opening of the school, her political career began. “In 2000, at the age of 44, she ran against an 18 year incumbent RINO Republican for State Senator in a primary and won and then won the general election. Four years later in 2004 she became the Assistant Minority leader in the Minnesota State Senate. Two years after that, in 2006, she was elected to the US House of Representatives.” (NCRenegade) She founded and is the chairman of the Tea Party Caucus in the House of Representatives. Michelle Bachmann was a hard woman to fight against. In my opinion, she is a challenge alone. She was a challenge for the National Democrat Party without being the President. She also raised more money than any other Republican House Candidate, which was $13.5 million. She is a very powerful woman that loves to take challenges upon her. In my opinion this is what we need as a President, whether Republican or Democratic.
Bachmann is a very independent woman, and achieved all her challenges on her own, without having a husband, family, etc. as a helping hand. This is another thing that causes her to stand out as a woman, but most of all a candidate. “She had a 100% rating from the Club for Growth in 2010 and has a lifetime 94% rating making her one of the most principled conservative elected officials in the USA, proving she not only talks the talk but walks the walk.” (NCRenegade) This is proof to show that Bachmann has the perfect criteria to become a President. She has experience in all the right places that are need be. She has worked with law, taxes, raised money, worked as a Representative of the House, and many other things. Her entire life story causes her to stand out, and shows that she is more ready than others to take on the job.
Bachmann learned quickly that she did want to continue being a Democrat when representing Jimmie Carter in 1976. She was against how Carter’s policies hurt the poor and everyone else. After reading up more on economics and his policies she decided to become a Republican. This shows that she has had experiences with both sides while representing President Candidates. It hurts to see that she has dropped out of the race with all the experience and challenges she has faced. I know that Iowa is her hometown, and it might have hurt her to not win them, but she should have kept going. I had a lot of Faith in her and I seen her winning the race even though it was not a great beginning.

Sadly Michele Bachmann Drops Out!!

I do not understand why Michelle Bachmann decided to drop out after the Iowa caucus. I actually had faith in her and seen her as one of the runner ups against Mr. Barack Obama. After reading a little background, she seemed to be a responsible person. I thought that it was interesting to see her running as President with all the other responsibilities in her life. She is also a congress woman in Minnesota. I find it interesting that she was challenging herself as a wife, mother, and business woman. With her having all of these things tide together, she would have stood a great chance if she did not decide to drop out. She should not have given up so quickly because she still had her chances with the other states.ABC 7 News- Michelle Bachmann Drops Out Presidential Race
            Mrs. Michelle Bachmann has five children and has adopted 23. She also owns her own business with her family. She is also a congress women fighting for change in America. This is how I know she is taking on a great challenge to make a difference. I do believe that she would have the skills to fight for the better as a woman. She also had strong arguments as far as fighting against Obama, for example the health care policy. Michelle Bachmann is a very strong woman with intelligence in my opinion and should not have dropped out. I believe she would have made a big difference for women in America, and all over.
