Cruz said it’s worse than that.
“The policies he is advancing are helping the other team,” Cruz said point blank.
Frank Luntz, who was moderating the forum, noted that was strong criticism and asked what the motivation was.
“I am neither a psychologist or a priest. So what I will say is… Listen this is a president who in the past week said on the national stage that he doesn’t have time for American leadership or America winning. I have got to say that FDR and JFK and Ronald Reagan were rolling over in their graves at a president saying he doesn’t have time for America winning,” Cruz answered.

Cruz was not done with this blistering criticism. He went on to call Obama an apologist for radical Islamic terrorism.
“President Obama… today is serving as an apologist for radical Islamic terrorists. Now what does an apologist mean because you are right (motioning to Luntz) that is a serious charge. An apologist is someone who gives a rationalization, justification, tries to explain it. I remember last year I was the National Prayer Breakfast. You may recall it was the day after a Jordanian pilot was lit on fire by ISIS, and President Obama stood in front of the National Prayer Breakfast and said, ‘Well yes, ISIS has done some bad things, but Christians and Jews have also done bad things,'” Cruz noted. “And then he invokes the Crusades and the Inquisition. Now last I checked both of those ended hundreds and hundreds of years ago. I don’t think it is too much to ask the President to stay in the current millennium. And that is exactly the argument that the terrorists make. It is the argument that ISIS makes as they invoke the Crusades.”
“This week John Kerry said that the attack of the Islamic terrorists on Charlie Heibdo was understandable and justifiable. Listen, I think John Kerry should resign in disgrace,” Cruz added.

Go Cruz!!!!!
apologist?
Try leader.
I believe that people will eventually vote their gut instinct primarily based on that question.
very true
but incomplete
O is not only an apologist for muslim terrorist attacks and infiltrators
O is their Infiltrator-in=Chief
Try leader.
Actually, I was thinkng of the word "strategist".
He is pursuing a strategy that appears to be fighting ISIS, without really inflicting much harm, so that no one can accuse him of being on the side of ISIS. Pretty clever, if that is what he is doing.
It’s about time somebody stated the obvious. Go Ted.
While others here in America are running for president, Obama is working to become Mahdi over the new Islamic Caliph he’s helping to build.
The Anti-Christ(ian), Jihadist-in-Chief is more to the point.
Yep. I guess Cruz had to temper it a little bit so the lunatic left didn’t label him totally bat-dung crazy. But there is NO DOUBT Obama himself is a radical islamist and fighting against the U.S. Too bad Cruz couldn’t go all the way to the logical conclusion.
Rock on!
I don’t view BHO as a traitor...he was NEVER on our side to begin with.
The people who voted for him are traitors.
An even more accurate description:
BHO is the Jihadist-in-Chief.
The above remark is why Cruz is the smartest, most informed, articulate guy in the room. Trump is a blowhard much like Perot who talked in generalities, "Well, we'll just fix it". Can't wait until Trump inserts final foot in mouth. Ben Carson is a nice man but a wimp and ill-informed. He needs to go away.
Cruz is Ronald Reagan re-incarnated. I think the only thing holding him back is puppy-dog eyes, much like Trump's furrowed eyebrows and pursed lips make him look tough alone with his generic rhetoric.
Obama is a terrorist and a traitor who belongs in prison on death row.
The people who voted for him are traitors.
Absolutely!
Cruz will get my vote.
I’m so glad Ted Cruz is running for President, he is what this country needs in leadership, I pray to God that he wins.
Obummer just pretends to be American, and is trying his best to damage and destroy our country. He IS on the opposite team’s side and he’s not even trying to hide it.
