WATERLOO, Iowa—Michele Bachmann riled up hundreds of Republicans in a banquet hall June 26th, but perhaps the biggest cheer of the night came when she mocked President Barack Obama for his reliance on teleprompters.
The crowd went wild when, toward the end of her 25-minute speech, the Minnesota congresswoman bragged that she was not speaking from a teleprompter.
“President Bachmann may be retiring that thing, by the way, when I get to the White House,” she said.
“We may not have a teleprompter in chief,” she added, after cheers.
Bachmann paced a makeshift stage with a big blue Bachmann for President sign behind her.
A crush of supporters surrounded Bachmann after she finished speaking, eager to pose for photos.
She told the group that she will, as expected, officially announce her candidacy in a speech in Waterloo Monday morning.
