'Sad, Pathetic, Fear Mongering': Rep. Allen West Running Out of Adjectives for Obama

In this interview with CNSNews, the Congressman decried Obama's implied threat that social security checks might not go out if the debt ceiling is not raised, and referred once again to this lapse in leadership as "sad, pathetic, fear mongering."
