Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann hinted once again she might take a crack at running for president after she retires in January.

"I don't know how you'll see me, but I would like to be in a situation where I can offer an opposing viewpoint to Hillary Clinton," Bachmann recently told Politico.

Politico also noted that the republican congresswoman, who tried to run for president before, "is fiercely courting media and speaking opportunities, likely in Washington, New York or Los Angeles, and looking to burnish her credentials as a foreign policy expert ahead of the 2016 presidential election."

Bachmann, who has served four terms, added that if Clinton wins the 2016 election, it would be like having President Barack Obama in office all over again.

"There isn't a dime's worth of difference between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton," the congresswoman said. "She will continue to foursquare...and put forward Barack Obama's policy in a third and fourth term.

When Bachmann tried to win the GOP presidential nomination in 2011, she had a brief moment in the spotlight. But she didn't do well in the Iowa caucuses and ended up dropping out of the race, according to Real Clear Politics.

This time around, Bachmann said she would love to expand her audience and work on her public image to appeal to younger adults.

"I absolutely love the 18-to-35 set. Absolutely love them, and that's a crowd I would like to talk to," she said according to RCP.

But is Bachmann a viable contender for Clinton?

Some Republicans don't see her as being relevant once she retires and Democrats don't see her as being the voice of foreign policy reason come 2016.

"Michele Bachmann lecturing on foreign policy makes Sarah Palin sound like Dean Acheson," Adrienne Elrod, spokeswoman for the Clinton support group Correct the Record, told Politico. "Hillary Clinton is one of the most admired and respected public figures throughout the world...There is simply no comparison."
