Bachmann for President

  National Town Hall +
   1:04:29 web video from June 29, 2011.

...with all due respect I think the president has failed the American people on turning the economy around.  And so from here we need to choose the candidate and I am here to present myself as that candidate for the presidency of the United States..."

Notes: This town hall from Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC was part of Bachmann's announcement tour.  Bachmann made remarks and then fielded questions from the audience as well as Facebook.  The video is very static, generally a wide shot focused on the podium; it would probably be more effective as a vidoe if the camerawork were more dynamic or there were another camera to get crowd reaction shots.  At the close, Bachmann's husband's Marcus spoke briefly, and they even danced for a few seconds.
