Michele Bachmann accused President Barack Obama of \u201cwaving a tar baby in the air\u201d by blaming oil speculators for the \u201cpoor choices\u201d he\u2019s made for energy policy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is just about waving a tar baby in the air and saying that something else is a problem. I have never seen a more irresponsible president who is infantile in the way that he continually blames everybody else for his failure to first diagnose the problem, and second, to address the problem. It\u2019s always everyone else\u2019s fault,\u201d the Minnesota Republican told Florida-based conservative blog <a href=\"http:\/\/shark-tank.net\/2012\/04\/19\/28292\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Shark Tank<\/a> in an interview on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>In the Uncle Remus stories, the Tar Baby is a doll made of tar and turpentine that\u2019s used to trap Br\u2019er Rabbit. The phrase has come to mean <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/tar%20baby\" target=\"_blank\">a sticky <\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/tar%20baby\" target=\"_blank\">situation<\/a>, but some also <a href=\"http:\/\/www.time.com\/time\/nation\/article\/0,8599,1221764,00.html\" target=\"_blank\">consider<\/a>it a derogatory term for African-Americans. Bachmann\u2019s press secretary Becky Rogness told POLITICO in an email that the congresswoman was referring to the \u201csticky situation\u201d Obama has gotten into with oil prices and noted that the statement had \u201cnothing to do with race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe congresswoman values all human life \u2014 regardless of race, color or creed,\u201d Rogness said. \u201cIf you listen to the interview, Rep. Bachmann was making a point about the president\u2019s poor understanding of oil prices, which has nothing to do with race. The president doesn\u2019t understand the oil market and hence, has gotten himself into a sticky situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t the first time a politician has used the phrase: In 2006, Mitt Romney used the term in reference to Boston\u2019s Big Dig construction project. He later <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/stories\/2006\/07\/31\/politics\/main1851199.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">apologized<\/a>. Arizona Sen. John McCain in 2007 was discussing the federal government\u2019s involvement in custody cases and said, \u201cFor me to stand here and \u2026 say I\u2019m going to declare divorces invalid because of someone who feels they weren\u2019t treated fairly in court, we are getting into a tar baby of enormous proportions and I don\u2019t know how you get out of that.\u201d He <a href=\"http:\/\/thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com\/2007\/03\/16\/mccain-apologizes-for-tar-baby-moment\/\" target=\"_blank\">said<\/a> he was wrong to use the phrase.<\/p>\n<p>And in 2008, Democratic Sen. John Kerry used the phrase <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebaumsworld.com\/video\/watch\/793189\/\" target=\"_blank\">in a TV interview<\/a>, saying \u201cI think John [McCain] is trying to throw that big tar baby out there. You want to lose, you don\u2019t want to win. Of course Barack Obama wants America to be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Republican Rep. Doug Lamborn (Colo.) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csmonitor.com\/USA\/Politics\/2011\/0803\/What-were-two-Republicans-thinking-calling-Obama-tar-baby-and-boy\" target=\"_blank\">apologized<\/a> in 2011 after he said of Obama, \u201cI don\u2019t even want to have to be associated with him. It\u2019s like touching a tar baby and you get it, you\u2019re stuck, and you\u2019re a part of the problem now and you can\u2019t get away.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read more: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/stories\/0412\/75351.html#ixzz1sWHkLSMs\">http:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/stories\/0412\/75351.html#ixzz1sWHkLSMs<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">~\u2020~<\/p>\n<h1 align=\"center\">Posted by Donna Calvin \u2014 PATRIOT\u2019S DAY \u2014 Thursday, April 19, 2012<\/h1>\n<p align=\"center\">~\u2020~<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please share this Watchwoman post on your Facebook page, Linkedin, Google+1, Twitter to all your friends, Please click \u201cLike\u201d, Share, and Leave Comments.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Visit Word Warriorette, a free Yahoo Group, and subscribe to be notified (one email a day) of new posts on Watchwoman.<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/WordWarriorette\/\">http:\/\/groups.yahoo.com\/group\/WordWarriorette\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">~\u2020~<\/p>\n<h6><em>DISCLAIMER: Beliefnet puts paid advertisements on \u201cWatchwoman on the Wall\u201d blog site including some that would never be approved of by the King James Bible, Pastor Ernie Sanders of Doers of the Word Church, What\u2019s Right-What\u2019s Left Radio Ministry, the Voice of the Christian Resistance, Geauga County Right to Life and Donna Calvin.\u00a0 We at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wrwl.org\/\">www.WRWL.org<\/a> do not condone, endorse, adhere to, practice or believe in many of the topics and some of what other bloggers promote or their religions at Beliefnet.\u00a0 However, Mrs. Calvin has no control of what Beliefnet displays.\u00a0\u00a0 She blogs at Beliefnet because she is in the missionary field ministering to true believers posting articles and commentaries informing pro-life, conservative Christians of recent anti-Christian acts and hostile legislation to God\u2019s Agenda and His Will for the world.\u00a0 Hopefully, unbelievers will read these along with the salvation message of Jesus Christ as written in the Gospel of John, Chapter 3, according to the King James Bible, and be saved.\u00a0 A missionary must go into the unbelievers\u2019 territory to reach them.\u00a0 Her mission is to Proclaim Warning to a Nation that has forgotten their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the only Truth, the Life, and the only Way to the One God the Father.<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Read more: <a href=\"..\/?p=4928\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/watchwomanonthewall\/?p=4928<\/a><\/em><\/h6>\n<p align=\"center\">~\u2020~<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Watchwoman: Today every word a conservative speaks is under microscopic scrutiny by the communist, socialist, progressive, Democrat-controlled media.\u00a0 Why?
