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

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.

This was my favorite scene in this movie, and they seemed to cut it out on TV version.

I have no doubts that Obama will take him up on that offer, and he’ll do it behind a platoon of Secret Service agents.

I am 100% TRUMP, but....when insulting someone, and I don’t care who it is, you should go face to face with the insult, if you don’t have the spine to do this, then shut your mouth!!!

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.


Caligula’s ending comes to mind.

“I had thought about running for office but cleaning out septic tanks has more class.”

No real difference, except a guy who cleans septic tanks can take a bath, but NOTHING will remove the stench of the politician.... : )

Americans want to see “balls”. Not white glove pathetic loserism because you are too nice to be a fighter against the left.

To win this takes a toughness that is above and beyond. A guy may have to be ugly at times. That is why Trump is winning.

He throws it all out there.

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

Obama already attacked him without using his name. Ted deserves to be able to answer him to his face. The Commie deserves NOTHING.

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

There is another option: Appointee to SC.

Cruz supporter here....the NBCCBSABCCNN cartel will try to portray Cruz as disrespectful for calling out the Prez while he is out of the country...of course, Ted could not let Bam get away with his attack...the Cruz response was designed to draw MSM attention due to the national security implications of letting these muzzie jihadists into the US...with a female muzzie blowing up a cop and a poor dig today in Paris, we’ll see how this argument about Syrian refugees in the US plays out.

How I was raised, and doubtless how Cruz was raised too.

Ted Cruz to Obama: 'Insult Me to My Face'

Obama is long past the point where someone with balls should have already punched him in the mouth.

Charles Wilson is the closest of any person that treated Obama in the way he deserved to be treated.

Charles Wilson said "You Lie!"

Of course Obama WAS lying, and subsequent facts have borne out the fact that Obama was lying when Charlie Wilson made that statement.

Republicans should have never treated him with the slightest degree of respect. I think that if they had treated him as he deserved, the little mouthy man-child would have melted down and thrown a temper tantrum.

It would have woke the population up to just what sort of an immature little pr*ck he is.

Read the comments at that link ... apparently Talking Points Memo is followed by pathetic, whining, self-righteous college students fresh from a BLM rally ... what a bunch of low-life scum.
