Rep. West: Obama Is A ‘Rigid Ideologue’ Leading By ‘Intimidation And Scare Tactics’
Mediaite ^ | 7/12/11 | Matt Schneider

Posted on 07/12/2011 5:19:22 PM PDT by Nachum

Republican Congressman Allen West appeared on Fox News and didn’t hold back with his criticism of President Obama’s leadership style and economic policies. Martha MacCallum wondered whether West was worried, like Obama, that if the debt ceiling isn’t raised then social security checks might not be sent out? West simply stated, “I don’t believe that’s the case.” West suggested there was something he was more concerned with than simply worrying about whether a budget compromise could be reached: “My concern is that we have a President that is not willing

LOL I picture some mediatard somewhere furiously flipping through a thesaurus looking for a word to use to attack Alan West that couldn’t be construed as racist.

I can’t believe that there isn’t enough dirt by now to leverage Obama.

Seniors may not get a cost of living raise, and have their SS checks withheld, but Hussein is going to take care of his muzzie bros:

BILLIONS FOR JIHAD!
Obama’s 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and “passed by the full committee.”
It gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/obamas-supplemental-bill-passes-gives-billions-to-enemies/
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obey’s office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.

• $3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces

• $400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces

• Afghanistan: $1.52 billion, $86 million above the request

• West Bank and Gaza: $665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza

• Jordan: $250 million, $250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance

• Egypt: $360 million, $310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance, $50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance

• Pakistan: $1.9 billion, $591 million above the request

• Iraq: $968 million, $336 million above the request

• Oversight: $20 million, $13 million above the request, to expand oversight capacity of the State Department, USAID, and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan to review programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq
• Lebanon: $74 million

• International Food Assistance: $500 million, $200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis

• Refugee Assistance: $343 million, $50 million above the request, …including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)

• Disaster Assistance: $200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia

•Peacekeeping: $837 million for United Nations
peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic

• Department of Justice: $17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system
The mainstream media remains silent on this but the International News has now picked up the story http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=22164
— and then there is Obama’s $108 billion IMF bailout scheme http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/13/obamas-100-billion-imf-bailout-scheme/
in addition to the Supplemental.
And THIS is what Obama is doing to American taxpayers:
THE BIGGEST TAX HIKE IN AMERICAN HISTORY:

Obama gives your tax dollars to rebuild Muslim mosques around the world
http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/26990#

ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WILL GIVE AWAY NEARLY $6 MILLION OF AMERICAN TAX DOLLARS TO RESTORE 63 HISTORIC AND CULTURAL SITES, INCLUDING ISLAMIC MOSQUES AND MINARETS, IN 55 NATIONS. See the State Department document here.

Read post #3 and you will see why no one is willing to pull those levers!

Unfortunately, the Republicans are waiting for the Democrats to turn on Obama just as they did against Carter. But, Carter didn't have the media in his pocket (he was hammered on every SNL & Late Night show), and he didn't have 95% of the black vote GUARANTEED - REGARDLESS of how badly he performs - and America still felt that we were exceptional but we were just feeling down!

Compare all of that to Obama and until Obama rapes and kills little baby puppies and kittens on the front porch of the White House - ON VIDEO - he is untouchable!

This failure to stand and do the right thing is what makes almost everyone agree that the Republicans have NO BACKBONE! This is why someone like Donald Trump can make such a large ripple in the fabric, because America is looking for someone to CHALLENGE Obama! To tell us that America is still exceptional and we can get back on the right track! Until that happens, Obama actually has a chance to be re-elected; that is SCARY!!

He's already screwed the pooch in front of everyone on TV. We need to contact our elected critters and demand that they tell the public what Obama's Marxist global cadre is doing to our country. If they all band together 24/7 and do that for their country (and us) it will make a big difference, I guarantee it.

I agree!!

I have made contact with all of my congress critters and asked why they are not standing in front of every dang camera SCREAMING about the lies, the scare tactics, the BS that The Won is spouting?!?!?

I always get the same BS reply, we need to be politically correct and play nice and blah, blah, blah! Complete capitulation and it really burns my buns because as long as they leave this stuff hanging out there - people believe it!

Get out in front of this lying idiot and cut his knees! That is what every Republican should be doing! EVERY MINUTE, EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY!

I agree with West, but if I were Obama and I looked across the table and saw a bunch of cowards negotiating with me, I'd use intimidation and scare tactics to get my way, as well. They'll eventually find an excuse to roll over for Obama.

The thug in our White House probably feels flattered. He'd read this and smile because someone thinks he's leading in any way.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You are SO RIGHT!!
They do leave a lot unsaid and a lot to be desired, don’t they? Why are we, who are sitting at home able to see the whole picture and the ones who are being paid to see it, ignoring it all?? Couldn’t have anything to do with politics...or common sense....or logic!

They want our votes - EARN THEM!!!

“”then social security checks might not be sent out””

But federal paychecks would still be issued???? Why not scare the federal employees for once instead of the old folks?

Maybe I’ll send the following to my critters and ask them if they think this is pc.

This came on an e-mail I just rcv’d that showed the Fort Hood Memorial with everyone saluting our flag or with hand over heart except for this pos - with the following caption:

The Crotch Salute Returns

I am sorry folks, but is this the MAGGOT that was elected President of our country? You know, the United States of America.

I do believe that saluting the flag goes with that, as does respecting and honoring the service members who have died. Does this pompous ass believe he is above that gesture? He can shower us all with flowery words (via TelePrompTer) and dazzle us with his B.S., but actions speak louder.
