Michele Bachmann was pretty sure the "last days" were here, in 2006

Turns out Michele Bachmann wants to be president of the Great Tribulation. As she explained back in 2006, we are living in the End Times. Jesus will come back and judge the world basically any day now:

Ahem: "Lord, the day is at hand. We are in the last days." Oh man, but I haven't even read "Freedom" yet!

The clip comes from a prayer she delivered to the radical ministry "You Can Run But You Can't Hide," publicized by ThinkProgress and Dave Weigel. (The City Pages was on it in May and I am guessing Dump Bachmann had it up years ago.)

Now the question is, why is Bachmann running for president? If Michele Bachmann is a true Christian, she should rise bodily to Heaven during the Rapture, making her totally unable to govern. Is she going to pick a non-believer running mate in order to ensure continuity of government? The people have a right to know who will be president during the famines, wars, and devastation that will overtake the Earth in the years before the Second Coming!
