Texas Rep. Randy Weber catches flak for calling Obama a “Socialistic dictator”

This Texas Reps tweets regarding President Obama are shameful!

"WASHINGTON — Friendswood Republican Rep. Randy Weber fanned partisan flames with an inflammatory tweet Tuesday night during the State of the Union, calling President Barack Obama the ”Kommandant-In-Chef” (presumably he meant “chief”) and a “Socialistic dictator.”

On floor of house waitin on “Kommandant-In-Chef”… the Socialistic dictator who’s been feeding US a line or is it “A-Lying?”

— Randy Weber (@TXRandy14) January 29, 2014

He didn’t stop there, calling out Obama for failing to protect the U.S. ambassador in Libya, and for blaming former President George W. Bush for his failures. His tweet about Libya was the only one time stamped after the president began speaking.

SOTU: I never said if you like your country you can keep it. He can’t blame Bush anymore. Will it be his phone and pen next time he blames?

— Randy Weber (@TXRandy14) January 29, 2014



SOTU = Sorry Our Time’s Up. POTUS = Poor Obama Trashed U.S. We shouldn’t be surprised. He promised to “fundamentally change US” Boy is he?!

— Randy Weber (@TXRandy14) January 29, 2014



Obama believes that fewer give to their country than the diplomats. That’s why he protected Chris Stevens in Benghazi…

— Randy Weber (@TXRandy14) January 29, 2014

His tweets drew significant media attention from news outlets across the country, and polarized responses on Twitter. Most chided Weber for misspelling “chief” or attacked his aggressive tone. But the publicity gave Weber more than 400 new followers as of 2:00 p.m., almost 20 percent of his new total."

Competion for "stupidest, most backwards and completely-out-of-touch politician."

They can't explain the diff between a socialist, a communist and a fascist.
They don't know.

I've gotten up and walked out of an asshole's house in Oklahoma after he called me a socialist and a communist. I won't put up with that crap.
