ALLEN WEST: OBAMA FEEDING U.S. ‘CR-P SANDWICH’
Congressman unloads on president’s so-called likability
A well-known U.S. congressman is taking the No. 2 route when it comes to Barack Obama’s likability, claiming the president is feeding the nation a “cr-p sandwich” and “a load of you-know-what.”
The comments from Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., came Saturday during an appearance on Fox News with Neil Cavuto, and can be seen near the two-minute mark in the above clip.
“The thing that bedevils this [Republican presidential] ticket, for good or ill, is its proverbial likability,” Cavuto noted. “We hear a good deal made of that. I often think too much. But it must explain why the president is even despite all these economic concerns and worries you raise, because on that score, Americans favor him, polls indicate 2-to-1, as the more likable guy. Does Mitt Romney have to make a case on that front next week?”
“Of course he does. I think that it’s very important that he introduces himself to America and he defines himself,” West said. “But let’s be very honest and let’s put this in military vernacular, if you’re feeding a person a cr-p sandwich with a smile, it’s still a cr-p sandwich.
“That’s what you see coming from President Obama. He’s fed America just a load of you-know-what, and it has not done anything for this country [other] than increasing our unemployment, increasing Americans in poverty, increasing the food-stamp rolls, and we’re heading in the wrong direction.
“When you look at a budget that he produces that talks about a balanced approach, raising $1.9 trillion in new taxes but it never balances. As a matter of fact, all it goes to is 53 percent growth of the federal government. So I think it is very important that we win the image war. There is no doubt about that. The personality, the persona, you have to define yourself, but you also have to stay on message, on track, because the American people are suffering under these economic policies.”

It’s always refreshing to hear an elected representative speak out, pulling “no punches” on important issues. Colonel West sought political office for love of country and will take care of his constituients in a manner long forgotten by career politicos. His military service in Iraq and the article 32 charges for extracting vital combat information from a double agent is well known. Soldier’s lives were saved. Politicians stateside pushed to have the Commander imprisoned and disgraced.
While D.C. carpetbaggers were busy chasing interns,padding their personal financial nests with lobby monies, Colonel West was a military advisor in Afghanistan. He recieved an Honorable Discharge from the U.S. Army and still believed in a final mission, tour of duty. I’m very proud to have corresponded with the soldier before he was elected Congressman. There is still hope for this country and “crap sandwiches” served with a smile pretty well sums up the situation.
