GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Did you hear what Congressman Allen West said? Well, hold onto your seat. He compared President Obama to a dictator. The congressman made those remarks during a recent appearance on "The Laura Ingraham Show." And to be specific, Congressman West said President Obama showed, quote, "third world dictator-like arrogance" during his budget speech. So what did he mean? Let's ask him.
Congressman Allen West of Florida joins us. Good evening, Congressman. Those are pretty tough words for the president. I know you have a lot of passion about your views, but the words -- any -- you want a do-over on that, or you stand by those words?
REP. ALLEN WEST, R-FLA.: Good evening. Happy Easter, Greta. And 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. 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. 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.

I don’t care about West, he’s just a corporate muppet.
McCain rather than FUBO? No not really. A McCain Admin would be like boiling a frog. The same stuff would come but in a less offensive way. We’d already have amnesty, and more campaign finance restrictions. Plus we would have his pig daughter Meghan in the WH. No, FUBO’s election is a wake up call to the country that we need to find a true patriot like Allen West to be our next president. Sadly, there’s no one yet on the horizon with the credentials and the charisma to beat FUBO. But again, it’s still early.
Colonel West will be speaking in Maryland on May 2nd. If anyone is in the area, the local Republican Central Committee has him for a Lincoln/Reagan dinner. www.ccgop.net
I would pay good money and buy popcorn to watch West debate Obama with no teleprompter.
Love this man. We need hundreds more like him in Washington.
Perhaps in 2020, when President Palin is term limited out, VP Allen West will become the 46th president.
That is my perfect dream for America.
That’s my Rep!!!

I am as ashamed of my rep as you are proud of Col. West. What a great individual and leader he is!!
Allen West is the man!! All men need to take note. This is what a real man says and does. No metro-sexual double speak, deny and deflect, redefining what this and that word means crap from him! I love Allen West!!!! Congratulations, Mrs. West, you are a blessed woman.
West is the ONLY person I would support over Palin or Bachman.
No, and I'll tell you why.
McCain would have taken us down the same path as Zero (just a bit more slowly), and the right would have been blamed for the same mess that Zero's getting us into now.
He would have set the Democrats up for a reign of error that would have lasted decades.
McCain would not have sparked the citizen rebellion we call the Tea Party, either, which is essential to forcing this nation back on track.
As bad as it all is right now, America kinda had to come to this crisis to wake the hell up and begin the hard work of restoring our nation to its founding basics.
Some day we'll look back and realize that Zero was the worst mistake the Dems/Commies ever made, and the best thing that could have happened to a sleeping populace.
WooHo! Get er done LT!
Based on comments posted, the answer is, yes.
West will be accused of something by the New York Times and driven from office.
Last weekend in Boca he ended his speech with this and it drove the crowd wild.
I think its because you can beleive him - he is steadfast in his convictions and beleifs. He is loyal to the folks who fought hard down here in Forida to upset the dopey democrat who thought reelection was in the bag.
Steadfast and Loyal - this is what we all will need to be ensure success in 2012.
West 2012 “STEADFAST AND LOYAL”
I like it.
Do some research on the attacks West has gotten from the commiecrats. He will not be ran off.He has a legal US BC and has passed a background check and military clearance.
Ditto here
Since when has that arrogant pos, who currently resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave been presidential. I haven’t sen it, have you?
