Not surprising; CNBC would turn to Michele Bachman as a critic of Pres Obama's Wall Street policy

As welcome as recent events may be, critics in New York and Washington say the White House still has a lot to prove.

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) says the President’s recent comment comparing the stock market’s daily gyrations to "a tracking poll in politics" shows “a sense of naiveté,” adding it is “very concerning that this is the number one issue of our time and he is comparing it to polls.”

The President’s apparent lack of appreciation, or even empathy, for the plight of investors losing their retirement savings may be matched by their disenchantment with his policy initiatives.

In short order, the Obama administration has cranked out a massive stimulus plan, a financial stability plan, a housing plan, a health care initiative and a budget blueprint. Trillions of dollars later, the measures—individually or collectively—have not only failed to reassure or impress Wall Street, but have actually spooked it.

The Obama administration “has done everything 180-degrees wrong in terms of how markets work,” says Rep. Bachmann, who cites, among other things, proposals for higher taxes, the stress tests for banks and a foreclosure cram down provision for bankruptcy court. (Bachmann supports a change in mark to market.)

Proposals like that essentially add insult to injury, and have become part of the problem, say critics in economic, market and political circles.

1. everyone knows she is an idiot . . . just continuing to confirm it

[mediaman007]

2. Bachmann lives her life without a rear view mirror.

By the way, what writer put together this drivel. Is the author putting their personal opinion into this too? The third and fourth paragraphs don't have quotes, nor are they attributed to Bachmann.

She must have made the statements prior to this week's rally.

9. the shrinking class of day traders that people the CNBC audience probably find

her attractive....in a sitting in your underwear in front of the computer monitor sort of way.

Keep feeding the CNBC minions what they want to hear.

there.

10. Can someone please explain to me why this 2 term representative gets so much air time and press

when there are 434 other members.

She's only been there for a few years. Does she have a leadership position? I would think not given her lack of seniority.

Why does Tweety have her on the show so much? Why is she the go-to gal on all matters GOP?
