Relishing in his hometown Kansas City Royals playoff victory against the Houston Astros, White House press secretary Josh Earnest took a jab at Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R).
Earnest challenged the Canadian-born Cruz to a bet: His Royals against Ted Cruzs other hometown team, the Toronto Blue Jays.

And so it begins... The fact that no one, including Obama, can identify where Obama was born is of no consequence. Ted Cruz was born in Canada! (But not Toronto...)

I don’t know if a president who grew up in Indonesia, whether he was born in Kenya or not, should be going there.

If it wasn’t an issue for Obama, then it won’t be for Cruz either.
What’s interesting is the White Hut feels a need to bait Cruz like this .... they must really be worried about him
LOL
To: ManHunter
GAWD! The AUDACITY of the WH even mentioning Cruz’s birthplace!!!!!!!!!!!!
talk about “the pot calling the kettle black,”
Creepers!
(and Obama will get away with this, too....!)

So, does Nairobi have a team?
To: ManHunter
“Like Obama, Cruz has also faced critics who argue that he is ineligible to be president because he was born abroad.”
Oh no, Obama has crashed that requirement.
Also, why does josh earnest always look like he just put down the bong?

“The president was born in Hawaii to an American mother and Kenyan-born father.”
Really? do we know that to a certainty? Really?

Barack Obama, the original birther.* * Yeah, so he was probably born in HI. But Obama started it all by lying about his origins (even to his wife) in order to sell books and be "cooler" than he really was.

Not surprised Earnest showed his pettiness. I am surprised, though, that he’s willing to tip the admin’s hand so early.

Can I ask a stupid question ?
If Josh wanted to bet Cruz on baseball Playoffs, why didn’t he challenge Cruz on the recently completed Kansas City/Houston series? CRUZ is from Houston.
