After President's Black Caucus Speech, Allen West Tells Obama to Change or Step Down

At least one member of the Congressional Black Caucus didn't care for Barack Obama's challenge to the group this past weekend.

"President Obama's comments at the CBC dinner Saturday evening, telling the black community to 'stop complaining,' were disrespectful and reprehensible," said U.S. Rep. Allen West, R-Plantation.

"With unemployment in the black community at 16.7 percent, Food Stamp enrollment up, and our national poverty rate at epic proportion, the people have a constitutional right to redress their grievances to the government.

"If President Obama believes he is above criticism and reproach for his failed economic policies, then he should either change his policies or step down."

West concluded:

"As a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, I admonish President Barack Hussein Obama to apologize to America for his callous remarks."
