Rep. Allen West: "Obama Feeding A Crap Sandwich To USA"

Obama gets the side-eye from West

The conservative Republican Congressman made the statement yesterday on Neil Cavuto's show on the Fox News Channel: "'Of course [Mitt Romney] does [have to make himself more likeable, given polls that show President Obama with a 2-1 advantage on the likability factor]. 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.'"

Rep. West continues his criticism: "'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.'"

More: "'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.'"
