Sen. Ted Cruz had sharp words for President Barack Obama over his comments regarding Republican rhetoric on Syrian refugees, saying his statement "is utterly unbefitting of a president."

"If you want to insult me, you can do it overseas, you can do it in Turkey, you can do it in foreign countries, but I would encourage you, mister president, come back and insult me to my face," the Texas senator and Republican presidential candidate said this on Capitol Hill Wednesday.

I like it. Smack his ugly mug, Ted.

Amen. That mouth is long past the point where it should have been popped.

[Slyfox]

Maybe the Lord himself wants that privilege.

[Biggirl]

Sadly though Mr. Obama muddy the office of the President.

[laplata]

POS Obama deserves absolutely no respect. He has disrespected the office.

[Safetgiver]

when he created them in the first place.....When are we going to arrest McCain? We even have photographic evidence he started and financed IS.

Hearing a complete version of Cruz’s remark on XM station 124.

I want to know the name of the person who made the decision to grant asylum to this dangerous family. I have searched the Internet but haven’t been able to find it. Also, it seems their sister is still in the country.

FInally someone in politics is right in the First Turkeys face

Thank you Senator Cruz

Democrats demand that you let them sacrifice your children to their god Multicult.

You recall Obama’s remarks about “pop off remarks” coming from, “some”, was directly followed by his nasty statement on “American leading” and “America Winning”. Obama said he was too busy to mess with that, as if it were silly.

Only Trump supporters knew who Obama was talking to, because we have heard these same terms repeated by DONALD TRUMP, over and over, since the beginning at every single rally.

For all the complaints against Trump repeating himself. He does it because it works, and Obama proved it. Trump truly is in his head, and left Obama to make a fool of himself over seas whining about it.

Those particular statements were directed to no one but the one in his head— DONALD TRUMP.

Trump wrote the script on STUPID leaders, saying America doesn’t LEAD anymore, and America doesn’t WIN at anything anymore, absolutely can NOT cut a DEAL anymore.

Trump has already galvanized the butt’s of our field to utter truth. We are indebted to a gladiator for influencing the field to FIGHT!

[NorthMountain]

Cruz would reduce Barry to tears.

I would pay good money to watch that.

[amorphous]

I REALLY like this guy!

[jstaff]

Bah! Trump has been saying this for years, even before Obama was elected. Cruz is just trying to steal The Donald’s thunder! Trump is the only one who has ever stood up to ... Cruz won’t even make a ripple in the pond.. etc

[stephenjohnbanker]

All true.

[jurroppi1]

Better Ted than Dead!

[LaRueLaDue]

President or Trump's VP. He has to be one or the other.

There is another option: Appointee to SC.

---

Can he do both? He could handle it, just don't know if it is permitted or legal.

[jurroppi1]

I would liken trump more to a blender than a pancake turner. Push the button too long and you get mincemeat.

[ConchKarl]

In this case an exception to your stance is proper. When Mr. Obama steps out and makes such an inflammatory statement he needs to be called out and rebuked. He is not an emperor and Senator Cruz is absolutely right to call him out. This is not the State of the Union speech, as was the case with Cong. Wilson.

This is a constitutional republic and respect is earned, not owed to anyone. From everything I have read and seen about Senator Cruz, he has earned my respect. As to the current inhabitant of the White House, I have none.

NICE!
