Florida man running for US Senate calls Obama 'animal'

In a speech to a Republican group last week that was captured on video, homebuilder Carlos Beruff made the remarks while saying that the Democratic president had hurt the nation with his military policy.

"Referring to the president of the United States as an 'animal' is an alarming insult of questionable intent and has no place in American politics," Jolly said in a statement.

Name calling the president of the United States for shock value isn't going to keep us safe from terrorist threats or tackle our skyrocketing debt.
