Billboard pronounces a 'message from God' to Michele Bachmann: 'No'
A billboard with a message to Michele Bachmann turned up above a busy thoroughfare in St. Paul this week.
ST. PAUL, Minn. - God has finally answered Michele Bachmann's prayers--or at least that's the message of a billboard hanging over St. Paul this week.
The former lawmaker's name sits above a cartoon image of God accompanied by a simple message: "No."
It's presumably a response to an interview Bachmann gave late last year to televangelist Jim Bakker in which she said she's praying to God for an answer about whether to run for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Al Franken last year in the wake of numerous sexual misconduct allegations.
The billboard sitting above Midway Books on University Avenue claims to be the work of satirical website thegoodlordabove.com, though page managers could not be reached for comment.
In the weeks since her pronouncement Bachmann has stayed mostly silent, giving no indication she plans to enter the political fray this fall. In lieu of a run from the 61-year-old former legislator, the only Republican to declare her candidacy is state Sen. Karin Housley of St. Mary's Point.
