Touring his Birmingham-area district today, U.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus started the day in Trussville, where he treated a breakfast of municipal and county leaders to his thoughts on guns, socialists and the federal budget.
APU.S. Rep. Spencer Bachus, shown here in Washington, spoke to city and county officials at a breakfast in Trussville today.
As for President Barack Obama, the Vestavia Hills Republican said he has "some hope."
"He's a better listener than George W. Bush," Bachus said. "He tries to get ideas from people."
But he said he is worried that he is being steered too far by the Congress: "Some of the men and women I work with in Congress are socialists."
Asked to clarify his comments after the breakfast speech at the Trussville Civic Center, Bachus said 17 members of the U.S. House are socialists.
