Cruz Pushes Back on Inexperience: I Wasn't Just a 'Community Organizer'
Breitbart ^ | 3/29/15 | Pam Key

Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” host Dana Bash grilled Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) on his lack of experience being similar to then-Sen. Barack Obama’s when he ran for president .

Cruz defended his qualifications saying, “In his time in the Senate he had basically been a backbencher; he had not been leading on any issues of any significance. In my time in the Senate you can accuse me of being a lot of things but a backbencher is not one of them.”

“Unlike Barack Obama, I was not a community organizer before I was elected to the Senate,” he said.

The center of the poodle IQ distribution lies to the right of that of the community organizers.

You know, just like Bash grilled Obama on his lack of experience.

Oh, wait...

Obama has redefined “inexperience” so far down that your dog is more experienced by comparison.

“And I didn’t have a communist mentor”.

“And I didn’t launch my political career in the home of former domestic terrorists”.

Funny, where are the reporters and commentators questioning Elizabeth Warren’s credentials and experience?

Did McCain or other Republican leaders demand Obama release his records in 2008? No, they were silent. It is the opposition party’s job to demand the facts and force the release of records just as Obama got the sealed divorce records of his Republican challenger for the US Senate released. That release destroyed his opposition.

I strongly suspect Bush, Cheney, the head of the FBI, the CIARA, NSA, and likely McCain all had the goods on Obama. Certainly the Clintons did and probably a number of press organizations. Yet everyone not only held back, they ridiculed those who did ask questions. Why?

******

Sadly, it will be hard to get a United States Constitional amendment passed as I suggest to require presidential candidates to reveal their school and medical records.

A first step? Amendment to state constitution? How about first trying this amendment: A state constitution amendment in which a state requires that anyone running for governor must release his school and medical records?

If such a state amendment works well, then it might be easier down the road to pass a U.S. Constitution amendment requiring presidential candidates to release their school and medical records.

Scott Walker: For instance, there seems to be some questions as to why Walker suddenly dropped out of the University of Wisconsin with just one year to go before he graduated.

I think that the presidential voter should know what happened to Walker.

Again, if each state passed a constitutional amendment requiring governor candidates to release school and medical records and the amendment is successful, then maybe the American public will be accepting of a U.S. Constitution amendment requiring presidential candidates to provide school and medical records.

Inexperience is in the white house now, the media and the rat machine convinced the dolts in America that this imbicile we have is a genius and being a community organizer trumps education and job experience

The Texas AG website says they have over 4000 employees. As AG, I’m guessing Cruz probably had to deal with many aspects of being the “executive”. All while pushing and arguing cases to the U.S. Supreme Court.

(Hmmm - I wonder if that TV show “Better Call Saul” will be used by the Liberals to show how Cruz got started?)
