Politico reports:

Michele Bachmann laced into President Barack Obama at a South Carolina tea party rally Saturday, saying his decision to take military action in Libya was "foolish" and that he's "not on our side anymore."

Bachmann’s appearance in Bluffton, a coastal town near the Georgia border, was one of several stops she’s making over three days in the key early primary state.

"We still don't know who the opposition forces are that we're helping [in Libya]," Bachmann told the Tea Party Patriots rally, according to CNN.

"The only reports that we have say that there are elements of Al Qaeda in North Africa and Hezbollah in the opposition forces," she added. "Let me ask you this: What possible benefit is there to the United States by lifting up and creating a toehold for Al Qaeda in North Africa to take over Libya?"

She hit the president on a range of topics, including rising gas prices, declaring that "I don't think he's on our side anymore."
