How will obama respond to the claim by African American Allen West that Obama played the race card?

One of the GOP’s handful of black candidates for Congress condemned President Barack Obama for exploiting race for political gain.

Allen West, the Republican challenging Rep. Ron Klein (D) in Florida’s 22nd congressional district, sharply criticized the Obama administration for having declined prosecuting the New Black Panther Party on voter tampering charges allegedly for political reasons.

“For an Administration that promised a new era in race relations, Obama and the Democrats in Congress have demonstrated that race will continually be exploited for political gain,” West said in a statement.

    He will dismiss him as a racist and "lacky of the White man". Then he will send his beloved Black Panthers after him to silence him.

    He won't. Only you cons admire Allen West, apparently. You'd like Allen West to campaign for Rep candidates, wouldn't you? What other quotes should we see from Allen West?

    President Obama will respect Allen's right to say what he believes ... next!

  • As the POTUS, Obama is not obligated to respond to every wacko opinion uttered by every unhinged contard idiot in the country.

    Hooray for the black Republican with the cajones to call a spade a spade. Michael Steele apparently doesn't seem to.

    He will say Bush left him no choice and he is just trying to repair the damage.

    He will also be saying this in 2012

    He's not going to waste his time or breath responding to anything that republican tool says.

    "If a black man says it, it must be true."

    You're pathetic.
