As she struggles to stay relevant in the 2012 presidential race, Michele Bachmann has figured out at least one more way to keep her name in the news. She’ll offer a rebuttal to President Obama’s jobs speech tonight at 8:30pm, The Hill reports. No formal Republican response to the speech had previously been planned, but John Boehner “has encouraged every Republican member to talk to their constituents about the policies the president will outline tonight—and about our own jobs plan,” says his spokesperson. Bachmann pulled a similar move after Obama’s State of the Union speech in January. (More jobs plan stories.)
