U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann gave a rebuttal following President Obama's jobs speech Thursday, where the Minnesota Republican slammed the president's jobs bill and the tone of his speech.

Coming off a debate performance Wednesday where she was largely overshadowed by Texas Gov. Rick Perry and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, Bachmann announced Thursday morning that she would issue a response from the U.S. Capitol.

Bachmann's rebuttal stood in contrast to House Republican leadership, who had said they were not offering an official response. The Minnesota Republican also gave her own "Tea Party" response following the Republican's official response following the State of the Union in January.

Speaking to a room of reporters in the House television studio that was less full than when she appeared in July during the debt limit debate, Bachmann accused the president of repeating the same proposals he'd already trotted out.

"The only remedies the president knows are temporary, government directed fixes," Bachmann said. The president, she said, "delivered yet one more political speech where he doubled down on more of the same policies that are killing the United States economy."

Bachmann was not able to attend the speech in person, she said, because her flight from California was delayed by bad weather. She listened to Obama's speech in the car and watched the end in her office.

Bachmann, who did not take questions about the campaign at the press confernece, called once again for repealing "Obamacare" and the Wall Street reform bill as part of her plan to get Americans working.

Bachmann was asked whether it was possible for Congress to tone down its rhetoric, and she responded: "Of course it's possible." But she added that the president was "insulting members of Congress" with his remark about the environment being a "political circus."
