Obama would have hit the 1 million “I” barrier by now.

The reason they don’t like him - most any politician, pundit or media ideologue, is that he IS the antithesis of Obama and people can see it and immediately recognize in their heart of hearts those aren’t lies he’s spewing.

They absolutely HATE that they cannot under any circumstance, no matter how well prepped and opposition-researched, no matter under what circumstances they try to trap him, beat him in a one-on-one or a many-on-one confrontation and debate of ideas and truth. Instead, they backbite, backtalk, scheme, maneuver and plot against him.

No lies, no false steps - just the truth. And he doesn’t need a teleprompter or puff questions from colluding so-called journalists. He stands virtually alone, with the exception of one or two other Senators and he confounds them. Were this the days of Rome, those other scheming Senators would surround him and put him to the knife.

Is he Ronnie? He certainly has the love of country for it. Is he Tailgunner Joe? Possibly, he’s taking a lot of flak over the target, for sure.

Me? I’m thinking of a line in a movie called Dune...near the end when Paul “Muad’Dib” Atreides pulverizes his final enemy Fyed-Rautha using only his voice.....Paul’s sister says something like, “How can this be? For he IS the Kwisatz Haderach.” And the rains then fell on a desert planet.....

Um, sorry, thank you for playing.

Ha ha, that's the first thing I thought, too. I would love to see the Columbia transcripts. Absolutely nobody from his class remembers him.

Obama = A hollow man using hollow words

Wouldn't it be nice for SOMEONE to leak anything out about ANY of the so-called colleges that he attended?

Comparing Cruz to the Bamboozler is a stretch. Only one of them has a forked tongue.

No evidence required. Strictly “Because obama” will suffice.

Obama went to Occidental College, transferred to Columbia University and got his law degree from Harvard.

Prove it! Show me his college transcripts.

Ted Cruz is ‘effin brilliant. I haven’t had this much respect for a politician since I served under my CIC Ronald Reagan. I had my 10 Yr old son watch CSpan last night and we prayed for Senator Cruz.

For a national figure, like nobama, to hide all educational records from which his intellect and ability is based is most curious. Such hiding brings up the question of what is the likely reason or answer for such hiding, with that likely and simplest answer being that there is something in those records that will not support the claims by the hider.

An even an potentially worse issue with this hiding is that of the institutions who are going along with this hiding of the record. At least some part of the reasons these institutions have gained such high respect is their trust by all aspects of our and every other society. Are these institutions now willing to show their willingness to incorporate the Marxist philosophy “The end justifies the means”.

By the way here at 0748, Ted Cruz is still cruising.

Is Goldberg just trying to be purposely controversial and draw more eyeballs to his article with the title of comparing CRuz to Obama? However the comparisons in his context don’t cut the mustard but he does get the eyeballs.

Does the fact that Cruz is right & Obama is wrong mean anything to Goldberg?

Thank you Jonah Goldberg, for revealing your true agenda, so I no longer need to waste my time reading your columns.

Jonah might as well try to compare Reagan and old maid Carter.
I see what he’s trying to do, but he admits it’s impossible so why try?
Oranges and (rotten) apples.
