Bachmann thanks Perry for 'endorsing her ideas'

Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, unveiled his economic plan this morning, but Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., wants credit for her presidential primary rival’s policy positions.

“Governor Perry – I appreciate you endorsing my energy ideas,” Bachmann quipped in a statement after Perry’s speech this morning. “Your plan is exactly what I have been talking about since I entered the race in June.” In point six of her jobs plan, released this week, Bachmann said the government should “legalize American energy production and America’s natural resources.”
