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

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 president has made it abundantly clear he holds a large contingent of the American populace in contempt, many different instances of proof on this singular point. There is no reserve currency of respect for the office or the president when both have become so debauched.

obama Fighting and Attacking Americans while Embracing and coddling EVIL...

Wake Up America!

can you name a single Republican President who campaigned harder against his own party than against the Democrats during the primary? Why do you hate Reagan so much?

[C. Edmund Wright]

Disrespectful, really?

Is that you Mr. McConnell, not wanting to upset your esteemed colleague across the aisle?????

[C. Edmund Wright]

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!!!

So you would be calling Trump a spineless weenie when he babbled on about Carson and Child molesting (NOT to his face) or Carly's "face" comment ( NOT to her face) and Jeb lack of energy (NOT to his face.). Thanks for clarifying your deeply intellectual thought process on this. (another BOT ping)

Just watched...says he’s sure any of the networks would love to host a debate between them.

IF.

ONLY.

"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."

*grin*

Ted Cruz was fighting liberals when Donald Trump WAS ONE.

[C. Edmund Wright]

Bah! Trump has been saying this for years,

You really don't want to go there....because if you did, I'd be forced to say BAH, Cruz has been solid conservative since Donald was schmooozing the Clintons, supporting Nancy Pelosi and Charles Schumer, and promoting universal government health care.

Now you really don't want to embarrass yourself like that do you?

[CatherineofAragon]

"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"

I had to read to the end of your post before I knew you were being sarcastic. These days, it's hard to tell.

Sad, isn't it?

Probably ought to do a different-standard-for-Trump-ping.

.......Come to think of it, though, bot ping works fine.

Tex Cruz vs. “The Pencil-Necked Geek”!

Or Jug Ears. Cruz would probably turn ‘em into ‘cauliflower ears’.

...but, come to think of it, I might have mis-interpreted Harley on that one...not totally sure where she was going in retrospect....

[TruthWillWin]

Good question.

[Yaelle]

Two great things about today.

My 5th attempted loaf of homemade sourdough came out wonderfully.

And Sen Cruz said THIS.

Can’t get the smile off my face.

[dforest]

Reagan ain’t running dude. I worked the polls for Reagan, so go pound sand.
I have yet to seer Cruz show some balls outside the protection of the Senate floor.

Yeah, IF ONLY.

I think a network would jump at it but POS Obama would never do it.

“Is that you Mr. McConnell, not wanting to upset your esteemed colleague across the aisle?????”

No, it’s me, Mr. Citizen remarking how a US Senator told the President of the United States in a public forum to “say it to my face.”

I don’t care who the President is.

Now that’s a Daily Double I can love.
