During a speech this morning at the American Legion national convention in Minneapolis, Republican Congresswoman and presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said President Obama is failing to lead when it comes to foreign policy.
In the half hour speech Bachmann praised the "peace through strength" approach to foreign affairs of Ronald Reagan and former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
"We are home to the greatest military force the world has ever known and it is my intention to keep it that way," Bachmann said.
President Obama addressed the American Legion in Minneapolis on Tuesday, pledging not to allow Congress to balance the budget on the backs on veterans.
The convention ends today.
