Michelle Bachmann is indeed a class act! She has a bio that is at least 10,000 times better than Obama's, and she is only 5 years his senior....I knew about the kids and foster kids, but didn't know about the double law degree.... Early life Bachmann was born Michele Marie Amble in Waterloo, Iowa, to a Lutheran Norwegian American family.[3] After her parents divorced, Bachmann's father, David John Amble, moved to California, and Bachmann was raised by her mother, Jean (née Johnson), who worked at the First National Bank in Anoka, Minnesota.[3][4] Bachmann grew up in Anoka, graduating from Anoka High School in 1974. She graduated from Winona State University and later received her J.D. degree from Oral Roberts University and an LL.M. degree in tax law from the College of William and Mary's Marshall-Wythe School of Law.[5] She was a member of the final graduating class of Oral Roberts' law school, and was part of a group of faculty, staff, and students who moved the ORU law school to what is now Regent University.[6] From 1988 to 1993, Bachmann was a U.S. Treasury Department attorney in the US Federal Tax Court located in St. Paul. According to Bachmann, she represented the Internal Revenue Service "in hundreds of cases"[7] (both civil and criminal) prosecuting people who underpaid or failed to pay their taxes.[8] She left her government position to become a full-time mother (relying on the income of her husband's Christian Counseling Center in the St. Croix valley area[9]). Her first child, Lucas, was born in 1983. Her other children are Harrison, Elisa, Caroline and Sophia.[10] Over the years, the Bachmanns have also taken in 23 foster children, all of them teenage girls.[11] Lots more about her qualifications at link: en.wikipedia.org
