Allen West unloads on the Obamanator.

Love this guy.
From your keyboard to God’s ears. My dream scenario for the next quarter century: Palin/Cain for 8, then Cain/West for 8, then West/Bachmann for 8, and so on...
If anything, possibly the legacy that Obama might eventually bestow is that he gave encouragement to a bunch of terrific African-Americans to get more involved in political leadership.
There are a whole lot of people that wanted to give the "Black Man" a chance. Now there are singing a new tune - the next time it will be based on merits and not skin color.
I voted for McCain in 2008 and found that HE was scum.
Draft West for prez!
The Birth Certificate is NOT an issue, truthfully he could have been born in the Oval Office, he is a dual Citizen!! Not NBC! We took the wrong path!
I'd hate to see Allen West waste four to eight years, just standing in the wings as VP. He has far too much to contribute to our nation at this time, and can best do that by staying in Congress.
Some want him to run for president now, but I say that it's far too early in his political career for that. He only just arrived in Washington, and has yet to build a record of accomplishment in office. It also takes time to build the sort of political alliances that are necessary to be a winning candidate.
OMG! He voted against it because Burn me once, Shame on me, Burn me twice, shame on you.
He does not want to be part of Boehner’s Dog and Pony Show to appease the TEA Party. Remember the 60 billion and it turned out to be 38 million? Our Lottery is higher than that!
If you vote to go along just to get along, we are right back to square one!
I can PROMISE you he will cast his vote on something that actually has TEETH.
Really? Then why did the Senate have to declare him NBC?
If Allen West were to run for president as a freshman House Rep, he'd lose, no matter how much he's loved and admired by the Freeper community.
He's going to go far in US politics, but he's only getting started. Within a few short years, he'll have strong name recognition, and a well known reputation and record to stand on.
It seems we went from the days of last week where folks were casting West to the wolves without giving the man a chance to explain himself. I haven’t noticed any references this week to West’s controversial position on Obamacare that sparked the outrage.
I don’t doubt your confidence, panthermom, but I’m not sure everyone shares it. I’ll lookout for any comments West made on the issue since.
I concur.
He’d make a good Herman Cain Veep.
Allen West has far too much good to do over the next few years to be relegated to the job of presidential stand in.
We need him in a position where he can actually get something done over the next four years. He's right where he needs to be.
I read the statement from his aid, and if you listen to him speak in interviews, he is just not about the BS to appease people.
From what I read, what the GOP put together, was NOT going to have a chance to pass in the Senate, he felt that what was going on in the ME was more pressing and needed to be dealt with immediately. I have to agree with him. Obamacare won’t mean anything if we get roped into a World War on several fronts, this must be addressed ASAP! I have a strong feeling that with his contacts, he knows something is up!
I have not been able to actually hear West speak, but I hope to. I got that shot at the Ft. Lauderdale St. Paddy’s Day Parade this year. So far he seems to be an excellent guy who believes what he says. I don’t expect anyone to be perfect, which seems to be what some are looking for. They are doomed to disappointment unless they plan to run themselves.
He said it without a teleprompter.
I love this guy!
Brown is like all thieves and liars... they make us trust all people less.
Unlike West, I never did think Brown was anything but shallow and lacking in character.
