Cruz: This president is beyond parody
Washington Examiner ^ | 11/24/15 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 11/25/2015 3:19:19 AM PST by markomalley

Presidential candidate Ted Cruz, R-Tex., criticized President Obama for being "out of touch" for comments he made Tuesday suggesting that stopping climate change would send a strong message to the Islamic State that Western values cannot be deterred by terrorism.

Cruz, speaking to Fox News' Megyn Kelly, condemned Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry for telling Americans "that they think essentially your SUV in the driveway is a greater threat to our security than is ISIS, than is a nuclear Iran and it makes no sense whatsoever."

"You know what would be a real rebuke to ISIS? When we kill the terrorists before they carry out another terror attack here at home murdering innocent Americans," Cruz answered.

The Texas senator said "it's gotten to the point where I don't think 'Saturday Night Live' can even parody this president anymore."

During a press conference with French President Francois Hollande Tuesday afternoon at the White House, Obama said that next week's international climate summit in Paris will be "a powerful rebuke to the terrorists" showing that "the world stands as one and shows that we will not be deterred from building a better future for our children."

I’d leave the daughter out of it because I don’t care about the kids whether they are children Reagan, Bush or Gore Clinton or Obama.

But the others are fair game and need to be addressed.

If you are going to bring Cruz’s wife into it, Trump’s totally grown up daughter, who is a top business woman in her own right, is fair game.

I've liked Ted since the get-go, but the last couple weeks he has really cranked it up and is soaring.

OK, What about Trump’s daughter being best pals with Chelsea Clinton? What about Mrs Trump raising money for Corey Booker? What about Mrs Trump being a hard core gay marriage activist?

When did Chelsea Clinton, Corey Booker, or gay marriage activists get a multi-billion dollar bailout?

Your hyperventilated response is laughable.

When Goldman Sachs, for whom she is a Managing Director with fiduciary duties, got it.

Yeah, the "I'm laughing at how ridiculous you are" only works for those who have MORE on the ball than the one they're laughing at.

It’s not about bailouts. After all, Donald Trump was one of the biggest supporters of PORKULUS.
This one is about Trump and his wife, being strong advocates for gay marriage, even while seeking votes from conservative GOP caucus and primary voters, who hate gay marriage.

This was a good interview. He didn’t let Kelly cut him off and jabbed Rubio for not being “on the right”.

Sure it is! After all, the biggest complaint against Republicans is the way they sell out their constituents.

You think they're selling out for lotto tickets?

Chortle!
Giving billions of dollars to Goldman Sachs is equal to giving billions of dollars to Mrs Ted Cruz? Ok then.

Who was one of the biggest supporters of bailouts and PORKULUS? Yep. Donald Trump.
Who is one of the strongest opponents of bailouts? Ted Cruz.
And this is still not about bailouts. You introduced bailouts into a debate about Trump's support and activism for gay marriage. Something that evangelicals will have to be educated about before primary/ caucus voting starts.

Why don’t you tell me dude?
According to you Mrs Ted Cruz received billions of dollars of bailout money all by herself. Chortle!

You trying to misrepresent me does not change the outstanding question.

But to answer your question, she's a managing director which puts her above vice president, one level below the top.

If you don't know what that means, perhaps you should be taking business classes while I study English.

Since you seem to have trouble with your reading I read comprehension I will repeat myself slowly:
So—no—proof—of—your—accusation.—Do—you—always—make—a—serious—charges—without—proof?
