Bachmann: It’s ‘interesting’ that the last swine flu outbreak also occurred under a ‘Democrat President.’

During an interview with PajamasTV today, Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-MN) falsely claimed that the last swine flu outbreak occurred under "another Democrat President, Jimmy Carter." Bachmann, however, insisted she was not trying to blame either man for the outbreaks:

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

The only problem is that the last U.S. outbreak of swine flu did not begin under Carter. Rather, it began in February of 1976, when Republican Gerald Ford was president...http://thinkprogress.org/2009/04/28/bachmann-flu-democrats/

they are delighted that Obama came in with a 30% disapproval rating.

Somebody has to be the dumbest member of Congress, it may as well be her.

However, if it turns out to be mad cow disease, she should get a break.
