Texas Sen. Ted Cruz wants President Barack Obama to know that he should take his broken promises tour elsewhere, according to a statement his office released Wednesday, just hours before Obama is supposed to speak in the Lone Star State.
President Obamas trip to Texas brings nothing with it but broken promises, the freshman Republican senator said in the statement. He promised that Americans could keep their health care plans. We were told premiums would go down, that jobs would be created. And we now know these are all false promises.
Cruzs comments come as the president visits Dallas to promote the Affordable Care Act as well as speak at a fundraiser.
[I]n spite of all Texas has done to resist the biggest entitlement program of this generation, Obamacare is reducing health care options, increasing costs and hurting jobs, the statement said. It has no place in Texas and must be repealed.
President Obama should take his broken promises tour elsewhere so Texans can continue focusing on the solutions that have allowed our state to become and remain the nations economic and job creation powerhouse, Cruz added.
The White House had pushed back against the notion that this is a politically motivated visit.
This isnt a political issue. This is about making sure people where they live have access to good quality, affordable health care, said David Simas, White House Deputy Senior Adviser for Communications and Strategy.
Never going to happen. The political class in DC has too much invested in this now...the Government Party (GP) will do all in it's power to fix any problems as they cme creating leeegislative fix after legislative fix until the whole system becomes so over=fixed that it's completely unworkable and then has to be replaced by a single payer system. Full blown socialized medicine brought to you by both wings of the GP!
Shades of the Confederacy and Americas first mixed up racially motivated pres.. ent. The war between the states, states rights not overbearing centralized goof offs called the Feds.
I'm not convinced it will under his administration.......they will keep it alive until he's out of office...I sometimes think that's all they want....just to keep it alive and that all these “glitches” are so when it falls it will be after the election and they will blame the Republicans. But DIMS will still tout ‘Obamas signature’ accomplishment as a success if it weren't for the Republicans.
I have had my Cruz 2016 bumper sticker on my car since July. Bob
Will women think less of me if I admit to having a man crush?
One would hope so! lol
Well, if you must know, John Cornyn was clearing his throat, and was about to say the same thing, but Cruz beat him to it. No word on why Mr. Cornyn needed to clear his throat..... Bob
