Michele Bachmann's Views, Not Her Headaches, Make Her Unfit
Tweet Share on Facebook July 25, 2011 Comment (65)There is no doubt that Michele Bachmann gives many of us a headache. But to attack her, as Tim Pawlenty has done in such a sexist way, as unfit to be president because of migraines is absurd.
Many of our presidents have had health problems much more serious than headaches—Roosevelt, Kennedy, Taft, to name a few.
