Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota has dropped out of the Republican presidential race. Bachmann announced her departure one day after finishing sixth in the Iowa caucuses. In an exit speech to supporters, Bachmann took aim at President Obama’s signature healthcare plan.

Rep. Michele Bachmann: “I believed firmly that what the Congress had done and what President Obama had done in passing 'Obamacare' endangered the very survival of the United States of America, our republic, because I knew that it was my obligation to ensure that President Obama’s program of socialized medicine was stopped before it became fully implemented… Last night, the people of Iowa spoke with a very clear voice, and so I have decided to stand aside. And I believe that if we are going to repeal 'Obamacare,' turn our country around and take back our country, we must do so united. And I believe that we must rally around the person that our country and our party and our people select to be that standard-bearer.”
