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 America’s skyrocketing debt, and he is sick and tired of the president’s “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 Ingraham’s 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 it’s not going to move the ball forward as far as rectifying the economic situation in our country — and I’m 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 America’s 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.

Good for you Allen West and I hope you continue to tell the truth about what is going on.
New Headline: Rest of World Tired of Allen West.
dittos to allen west. man of honor and good character. man of intellengence and more importantly common sense.
as for you dan; you have struck out once again.
truth; what a concept......
No it's just you Dan ! You must be a kook.
headline: Dan thinks he is the rest of the world.
lol @ Dan. West's comments do seem quite hypocritical. Seems to me the man has more talent for getting on tv than actually developing solutions for what ails the country.
Figures dan would make up his own headline to try to hide the truth.
