Bachmann: I'll help Obama find a job after I win

The comments came as Bachmann headlined an enthusiastic yet sparsely populated Tea Party rally at the state capitol in Des Moines, Iowa. Earlier Saturday, in Iowa City, the candidate launched a bus tour through the first-in-the-nation caucus state.

As she served up red meat to the assembled conservatives, Bachmann took aim at Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner — and the president — over the economy.

“I want you to know, as president of the United States, I look forward to creating real jobs for both the Treasury secretary and the president of the United States,” Bachmann said.
