"It's never gone below a eld of Americans who want to wager Obama-care repealed," Bachmann said. "This is, I believe, the large noesis clutch that I hit ever seen."
The wager in incoming year's election are enormous, she added.
"What we are going to watch together, here in Iowa, is quite frankly whether we module pass the American Dream on to the incoming generation," Bachmann said.
The candidates convergent on criticizing Obama and Democrats and prefabricated little try to find differences with apiece other.
Gingrich said his experience as House speaker showed he understood how to control federal spending.
"I helped balance a budget for four straightforward years," he said.
He departed shortly from the event's mostly husbandly thought to move Obama's handling of the expose strikes in Libya. He ridiculed Obama for consulting with the Arab League and the United Nations, but not Congress, before making a selection to attack.
