From CNN, about the conservative Republican politico: "Former Rep. Allen West, who lost his seat in
November, compared the end of President Obama's term in January 2017 to
perilous points in history that Americans had to endure and overcome. 'When British tyranny besieged our colonies, we survived. When flames
danced from the White House windows in 1812, we endured. When the union
split itself into two almost perishing from this earth, we rebuilt,' he
said Thursday at the Conservative Political Action Conference outside
of Washington."
More: "'When the soup lines of the Depression stretched down shuttered city
blocks, we recovered. When an unstoppable Nazi regime and war machine
threatened to extinguish the light of free nations, we triumphed,' he
continued. 'And, ladies and gentlemen, when Barack Obama packs his bags
and beats a hasty retreat back to Chicago, we will persevere.'"
