President Obama rebuked GOP presidential candidate Ted Cruz's proposal to patrol U.S. Muslim neighborhoods as a part of a counter-terrorism strategy as "un-American" and "counterproductive."
"I just left a country that engages in that kind of neighborhood surveillance, which, by the way, the father of Sen. Cruz escaped, for America, the land of the free," President Obama said, invoking Cruz's Cuban heritage in criticizing Cruz's proposal today.

Not so fast...Cruz’s father was in jail, was he not?
Was he not one of Castor’s insurgents?
I thought 0bama said Cuba was awesome, free and a light unto the world?
Keep talking Ted
If you make it to the general, the democrat anti Cruz campaign ads just begin to write themselves
0bama attacks not Castro but Cruz with Commie Cuba’s violation of human rights.
The problem in Brussels and large parts of France around Paris is that there are housing projects that have become virtual no-go zones for local police.
One commentator on the Brussels neighborhood where the Paris bomber has been staying pointed out the poverty in that neighborhood and that the largest economic activity was the sale of illegal hashish. In such neighborhoods the commentator pointed out that police are viewed as an economic threat and kept at arms length, which is why terrorists love such places.
While I don't feel it is appropriate to make a politician's dumb or crude statements for them. There was a hint of truth to what he was trying to say or at least what he should have said.
As to Barry, the Big Zero......he just is so weak and biased toward Muslims that it is a joke.
I agree with Trump. It’s a good idea. A better idea is deportation.
Cruz's idea is silly. What are the local cops supposed to be looking for? These guys?

Teddy, these enclaves are public knowledge.
The FBI is already aware of hundreds of training camps all over the country. They do nothing except keep them under surveillance.

“Does this mean you are on Obama’s side on this issue?”
Obama is just taking advantage of a stupid move Cruz made...that is in large part why I think it was a stupid move on Cruz’s part...immediately after I heard it I knew it will be used against him...and, it is the wrong way to handle the problem...
So, to answer your question...no, I am not on Obama’s side. Obama punctuates what I said.
