GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: Did you hear what Congressman Allen West said? Well, hold onto your seat. He compared President Obama to a dictator. The congressman made those remarks during a recent appearance on "The Laura Ingraham Show." And to be specific, Congressman West said President Obama showed, quote, "third world dictator-like arrogance" during his budget speech. So what did he mean? Let's ask him.
Congressman Allen West of Florida joins us. Good evening, Congressman. Those are pretty tough words for the president. I know you have a lot of passion about your views, but the words -- any -- you want a do-over on that, or you stand by those words?
REP. ALLEN WEST, R-FLA.: Good evening. Happy Easter, Greta. And I do stand by those words. And perhaps one of the things that many people need to understand is that the truth needs to be said. When I go around and I talk to people down here in my district and we get phone calls, that speech that was given last week Wednesday was absolutely beneath the statesmanship or the atmosphere or the aura of the personality that the president should show.
I am sick and tired of this class warfare, this Marxist, demagogic rhetoric that is coming from the President of the United States of America. It is not helpful for this country and it's not going to move the ball forward as far as rectifying the economic situation in our country. And I'm not going to back away from telling what the truth is.

What arrogance shown by B.H. Obama!
West still refuses to address the Eligibility issue, and has attacked Birthers.
Cannot take this seriously when West sides with Obama on the Birther issue
I would like to see the divisive and biased clown we have in the WH try to call THIS guy baised and divisive.
N O T
West is the bomb!!
LOL! Did she really say "coming home to roast" or was that the stupidity of the transcriber?
West will kick him back to Kenya if needed; don’t you worry.
West is the Best!!
West Has Zest!!
Allen West—just another racist tea partier-—oh! Wait!
Bump!
Calling Obama a socialist was so effective in 2008.
Yeah!...
He needs to start being seen more and more on the other MSM networks. They might be afraid to give him any air time. Still don’t know as much about him as I would like to but I do like what I hear so far. A breath of fresh air.
RE: “Allen West for president 2012.
No one else.
That is all.”
*******************
I love this man — agree he is the ONLY real deal we have —
Believe he does not really think he is ready, but he knows he will be and if pressed, he would certainly jump in. We may get him on ticket as VPOTUS this time — I wouldn’t love it, but I’d take it, assuming guy at top is not a total idiot.
Thanks.

The chickens coming home to roost statement is priceless and why doesn’t Greta shock us all one night and wear a yellow daisy dress instead of the same buttoned up top every night?
Never give up, never surrender.
Possibly the only candidate that can beat Obama.
Re: “Rep. West is wonderful. I saw him on Greta’s show, and even though she whined at him in that grating voice, he never backed down. We need a whole lot more like him!”
****************
Agree — I usually like Greta but when she tries to be TOO ‘fair and balanced’ she is really annoying. West just rolled right over her and she caved — beautiful! Like someone else here said, I’d follow him anywhere -
But calling him an arrogant third world dictator is simply the truth.
Do you not like West because
a-you are a Palin bot that needs to graduate from the 6th grade; that will write her name in even if she does not run?
b-you like someone else for the 2012 ticket.If so who?
P.S. I like Palin but I am so sick of hearing some here say SHE WAS THERE FIRST the tea party is her and the tea party dissed her; all awhile knocking a tax attorney for the fair tax-Bachmann.... blah blah blah kool aid drinking cults won’t win an election!
