Michele Bachmann to run for president?
'When I have sensed the Lord is calling me to do something, I've said yes to it'
Is tea-party favorite Michele Bachmann looking to run for president in 2012?
The answer is looking more like yes, as a published report says the Minnesota Republican congresswoman is seriously weighing whether to seek the Republican nomination, 17 months after WND originally reported her White House aspirations.
ABC News says "a source close to the three-term congresswoman said Bachmann will travel to Iowa this month for multiple meetings to seek advice from political forces there and party elders close to the caucus process before coming to a final decision regarding a potential presidential run. Bachmann, a native of Waterloo, Iowa, also is set to deliver a keynote speech at an Iowans for Tax Relief PAC fundraiser Jan. 21 in Des Moines, Iowa."
This will reportedly be Bachmann's third trip to Iowa in the last eight months. The state is considered important because of its early presidential caucuses.
When asked whether the Iowa trip was a signal Bachmann intended to run for president, her chief of staff Andy Parrish told the network, "Nothing is off the table."
"The congresswoman is excited about her first trip to Iowa this year," he added.
In the 2009 interview with WND, Bachmann was asked if one day she would run for the Oval Office.
"If I felt that's what the Lord was calling me to do, I would do it," she answered. "When I have sensed that the Lord is calling me to do something, I've said yes to it. But I will not seek a higher office if God is not calling me to do it. That's really my standard.
"If I am called to serve in that realm I would serve," she concluded, "but if I am not called, I wouldn't do it."
Radio host Glenn Beck reacted enthusiastically this morning about the possibility of a Bachmann bid for the White House, telling his audience, "I would vote for her in a heartbeat."

SEVERAL YEARS BACK someone who had a NDE and was dead for 1 1/2 hours said he saw a black president and after that a woman president who would be very good for the nation. Is this the woman? I have a good feeling about her and hope this nation gets on track away from big Corporations, the Federal Reserve, the Patriot Act and back to the basics of the Bill of Rights and Constitution.
