” - - - Although I’d like to see Allen West get a lot more seasoning under his belt before running for president, - - - “
Allen West is a Retired US Army Colonel, the same rank that Eisenhower held when Ike was Named Supreme Allied Commander, Europe in WW2.
West is ideal to have us “promote” him to be the next President of the United States of America.
Obama was trained as a pothead, Marxist community organizer, before proving himself to be bad at everything he does, except for golf.
He's also great at vacationing, sneaking out for fast / calorie laden food, entertaining celebrities (especially fundraisers like Clooney, Estafan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas), and spending taxpayer money on "GREEN (as in money") agenda companies that soon go belly up or are horrid investments (Chevy Volt) like it's going out of style.
No - Allen West retired from the US Army at the rank of Lt. Colonel. Same as my dear old dad.
That said, he's got the requisite character for the job, if not the executive seasoning I'd prefer.
