It should not be surprising that Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann is desperate to reclaim her former glory, and to get back into the race. It is also not surprising that she is completely out of touch with way the average person these days. In fact, she decided to blame the Occupy Iowa protesters on President Barack Obama.

The Occupy Iowa protesters hit Bachmann’s campaign headquarters where their protest ended with ten protesters- including a 14-year-old girl- in police custody.

Bachmann told reporters that “The people outside are President Obama’s re-election advance team. That’s what you’re seeing outside. What they recognize is that I’m the greatest threat to Barack Obama’s re-election and I intend to be.”

There were plenty of people there to support Bachmann, most of them apparently bussed in from Oral Roberts University in Oklahoma.
