Ted Cruz to Obama: 'Insult Me to My Face'
NBC ^ | November 18, 2015 | Frank Thorp V

Posted on 11/18/2015 9:28:57 AM PST by don-o

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.

> POS Obama is a chicken$hit coward punk bully.........

Sounds like Obama’s about to have a Roman Senate moment. It can’t come too soon. Soon even his own bodyguards will not come to the punk’s rescue.

If Cruz gets the nomination, the left is going to go insane with hatred for him.

No question, Trump’s plain talk has sounded a note that resonates.

But, demanding tat Cruz do it like Trump is silly.

Fact is, that if there were to be a one on one intellectual debate with choice of blades, Cruz would have the rapier; Donald the pancake turner.

It is what it is.

-— Feels so very good! Ted is quite careful with his rhetoric (unlike some I could mention). So this blast is doubly effective. -—

Ted isn’t McConnell or Boehner or Ryan.

Oops!

It’s catching up with him. It’s just too bad it took so long for some to see his true colors.

It’s been said before that he might lose it in public and I think he will. It’s already happening and should get more pronounced.

This scum is dangerous and they had better put him under house arrest, at minimum.

Obama doesn’t have the courage or the intellect to debate Ted Cruz.

0bama is most likely to have his weasel press secretary (can’t remember the poofter’s name) carry his water on Ted’s challenge. Cruz should go to that press conference and demand the weasel face him, then shred the little bastard’s—and the big bastard’s—arguments with his superior logic and oratory.

I love Cruz, but in this case I have to say telling the President to say it to my face is disrespectful. Even if the President is a IslamoMarxist POS.

Just like Wilson calling him a liar. He was correct, but to do it out in public is disrespectful. We have to keep in mind, this is still office of the President of los Estados Unidos, I mean the US.

Problem with Cruz supporters is they are stuck on debate. There are no every day debates where Cruz can show what a great debater he is and that proves to all Americans that he should be POTUS. Why can you not see that? Cruz reminds me of Bush. Too nice to win.

I would wager Cruz is waiting on Trump to knockout Carson and Rubio. That is not a winning formula.

That's a really good point.
