STEPHANOPOULOS: But you can't say, you can't just sit there and declare that the president is a citizen and he is a Christian?

BACHMANN: You know, what I focus on today, George, is today is the two year anniversary of the stimulus program where we spent a trillion dollars to make sure that unemployment wouldn't go above eight percent. That's what I'm worried about, because the people of the sixth district of Minnesota are very concerned about job creation, and that's a lot more important than dealing with these other issues.
