"I would encourage you, Mr. President, if you want to insult me, come back and insult me to my face," Cruz said of Obama, who is in the Philippines.
"Let's have a debate right now," he added. "We can do it anywhere you want. I'd prefer it in the United States and not overseas where you're making the insults. It's easy to toss a cheap insult when no one can respond."
"It is utterly un-befitting of a President to be engaging in those kinds of personal insults, attacks," Cruz said, charging that Obama was "belittling the Republican field."
Monday, Obama didn't mention Cruz by name, but blasted his proposal to bar Muslim Syrian refugees from the U.S. and allow in only Christian Syrians.
"When I hear political leaders suggesting that there would be a religious test ..blah blah blah ....that's not American," Obama said at the G20 meet in Turkey.
Obama stepped up attack on Republicans Wednesday during in the Philippines — Tuesday night — and said they were afraid of "widows and orphans."
When Cruz was asked by a reporter about Obama's comments, he called them an attack on him and others who are worried about letting in Syrian refugees who could carry out terror attacks.
Meanwhile, Republican contender Rick Santorum also knocked Obama Wednesday for his attacks on the GOP candidates, saying that the President "needs to get a grip on reality right now!"
"Christians are being beheaded and crucified by these savages. People of good conscience who want to protect Christians are not recruiting tools for ISIL," Santorum said in a statement. "While I disagree that accepting Christian refugees is in the long-term security interest of the United States and long-term stability interest of the Middle East, the intent of those who do should never be vilified."

I’d pay good money to see Cruz debate Obozo.
I have been following politics for a long time and i have never seen this kind of thing happen before.
Very Trumpesque of Cruz, standing up to the Bolshevik Bully who is trashing us on foreign soil. Ted is rising to the occasion and defending the honor of the majority of Americans.

VIDEO OF TED CRUZ TAKING ON OBAMA-—CHALLENGING HIM TO DEBATE SYRIAN REFUGEES
Every day, I like Cruz more and more.
Confronting Bam Bam publicly is the icing on the cake.
Fully aware his own personal security is assured for the rest of his life, theOne has no problem imperiling your life or that of your grandchildren.
Obama reminds me of one of the clique of girls in the schoolyard. No matter what he says, his gang mocks and laughs along.
Also no teleprompter allowed for Obama.
