Rep. Allen West: Obama Displays 'Third World Dictator-like Arrogance'

Today on The Laura Ingraham Show, Rep. Allen West (R-FL) compared the president's arrogance to that of a "third world dictator." He also dismissed Michelle Obama's military outreach campaign as nothing more than an effort to pick off conservative voters.

On Michelle Obama's military outreach campaign:

"I think it's part and parcel with the fact that you heard the president announce his campaign, getting that kicked off, and of course you have to try to go out there and garner votes from what is a very conservative group of individuals--that's the United States military."

On Austan Goolsbee's remark that S&P made a "political judgement":

"They don't want to hear the truth. ... They're so used to having the cheering, adoring mainstream media that is nothing more than their own cast of cheerleaders, much the same as an episode of "Glee," and that's what they appreciate more than having real individuals sitting back and assessing this economic situation."

"What you continue to see is a third world dictator-like arrogance, that's what I saw in that speech [by Obama] last week. And look, Laura, to borrow a phrase from Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the chickens are coming home to roost."

"This whole talk about shared prosperity--that really gives me the goosebumps because I'm starting to believe that a community organizer is nothing but a low-level socialist agitator."
