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.

I have had very little to say about Trump up to now. But, it is at best unseemly for his supporters to hijack a shining moment for Cruz.

I would suggest that we don't limit ourselves to an either/or mentality. I support both Trump and Cruz, for different reasons. Whenever one of them has a success against the leftwingers, I cheer. When the other one does, I cheer also. I see no need to tarnish either candidate a year before the election, especially when I don't know who will be the nominee.

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.”

Well maybe if you were a better, more in tuned citizen you'd realize that this President is an enemy of these United States - and therefore, no decorum is necessary. You are acting like the little flowers at Yale needing safe spaces and so on...or maybe an old bat from Gone with the Wind having "the vapors" - man up.

...I’m with you, except that you missed the point.....which is that Trumpanzees were trying to slam Cruz on THIS thread. Direct your complaints to them......not to those who point it out.

Ahhhh, Trump has been saying these things long before Moses parted the Red Sea....

Trump is the one who gave God the idea to say : Let there be light..

Do I have to say it ?

A dash of sarcasm there.

I think you’re right about Obama getting very close to losing control. He will be juggling marbles soon.

The only way to respect the office is by publicly and loudly disrespecting Obola.

Mine wasn’t a complaint directed at you or anyone in particular. Relax. Your post just happened to be the one I replied to.

I resemble your calling Obola a “piece of pig excrement.” You seem to have stolen it from my, “subhuman piece of pig sh#t.”
