Florida GOP Rep. Allen West says he stands by his statement that President Barack Obama exhibited Third World dictator-like arrogance in his speech last week on the budget and Americas skyrocketing debt, and he is sick and tired of the presidents Marxist demagogic rhetoric. I do stand by those words and perhaps one of the things that many people need to understand is that the truth needs to be said, West Thursday said on Fox News, referring to a comment he made Tuesday on Laura Ingrahams radio show. When I go around and I talk to people down here in my district, and we get phone calls, that speech that was given last week Wednesday was absolutely beneath the statesmanship, or the atmosphere, or the aura of the personality that the president should show. I am sick and tired of this class warfare this Marxist demagogic rhetoric that is coming from the president of the United States of America, he told Greta Van Susteren. It is not helpful for this country, and its not going to move the ball forward as far as rectifying the economic situation in our country and Im not going to back away from telling what the truth is. West said it is time to stop playing games when it comes to discussing Americas deteriorating fiscal situation. I don't think it's very presidential when Barack Hussein Obama refers to my colleague, [House Budget Committee Chairman] Paul Ryan, as a simple little accountant, either, he said. So I think that when you look at what a community organizer [Obama] is turning out to be, it does seem to be like a low-level socialist agitator. Allen West: Tired of Obama
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_West_(former_U.S._military_officer) Iraq interrogation incidentWhile serving in Taji, Iraq, West received information from an intelligence specialist about a reported plot to ambush him and his men.[11] The alleged plot reportedly involved Yahya Jhodri Hamoodi, a civilian Iraqi police officer.[11] West, who was not responsible for conducting interrogations in Iraq and had never conducted or witnessed one, had his men detain Hamoodi.[11] Hamoodi was beaten by four of his soldiers from the 220th Field Artillery Battalion on the head and body.[12] West then fired his pistol near Hamoodi's head.[11] Hamoodi then provided West with names and information, what Hamoodi later described as "meaningless information induced by fear and pain."[11] At least one suspect was arrested as a result, but no plans for attacks or weapons were found.[11] West said "At the time I had to base my decision on the intelligence I received. It's possible that I was wrong about Mr. Hamoodi."[11] West was charged with violating articles 128 (assault) and 134 (general article) of the Uniform Code of Military Justice. During a hearing held as part of an Article 32 investigation in November 2003, West stated, "I know the method I used was not right, but I wanted to take care of my soldiers."[citation needed] The charges were ultimately referred to an Article 15 proceeding rather than court-martial, at which West was fined $5,000.[11] LTC West accepted the judgment and retired with full benefits in the summer of 2004. Asked if he would have act differently if under similar circumstances again, West testified, "If it's about the lives of my soldiers at stake, I'd go through hell with a gasoline can."[13]
I don't disagree with anything he said. Obama is a Marxist. It's astonishing to me that there are still people who deny it.
I like West a lot too because he's light-skinned and has no Negro dialect unless he wants to have one.
