Presidential candidate Ted Cruz took to Facebook to slam the Obama Regime, known to despise our nation’s military, for their refusal to honor our five military members who were murdered by a Muslim terrorist in Chattanooga, Tennessee recently.
Breaking with tradition, the regime has stubbornly refused to lower the flag at half-staff, a longstanding custom after events like the horrific terrorist event, to show a nation that is in mourning.
Cruz made note Tuesday morning that while the U.S. Capitol building has lowered its flag in remembrance of the servicemen killed by the Islamic terrorist, the White House…
Meanwhile, Obama Regime propagandist and professional liar Josh Earnest has been unable or unwilling to provide an explanation as to why Obama has not lowered the flag at the White House or ordered the flags at all federal buildings to be lowered.
Many state leaders, who no doubt grew tired of waiting to see if Obama would order all flags at half staff in honor of the Marines and sailor killed by the Islamic Jihadist in Chattanooga, ordered flags at their capitol buildings to be lowered as well.
It was only after this public shaming by Cruz, Congress, and state leaders around the country, that the announcement came that Obama had reversed his decision and ordered flags flown at half-staff.
The decision by the President of the United States regarding whether to lower the flag to show respect for and to honor American servicemen killed on American soil by a Muslim terrorist should not come only after mounting criticism.
The fact that it took public shaming and criticism for Obama to order the flying of the American flag at half-staff is both very disturbing and very telling.

Ted Cruz Ping! He wasn’t dissing the military. He was honoring the “jihadi.”
Why is this so hard to see or say?
Good for Mr. Cruz.
I’m a little surprised 0bama could be shamed into anything, frankly. So, that being the case - double kudos to Ted!
I strongly suspect that Obama lowered the flag only after a Muslim terrorist was killed. He still played to the Muslim obligation of his childhood and adult life.
It sure took the scum bag long enough to do something so obviously appropriate. I guess Valjar finally told him it would be O.K.
I utterly and completely hate the news media.
Personally I don’t think it’s possible for Obama to feel any shame. At all. Everything from Obama Inc is all about optics. That’s it.
Does Obama even know what the American flag looks like?
It is impossible to shame the Current Occupant now squatting in the White, er, “Rainbow” Hut. Since he is also simultaneously and officially the Smartest Person in the Room, he can give the “celebration” any kind of spin he likes.
The flag should not be flown only at half-mast, it should be inverted as well as a sign of distress.
Because this territory once known as “the United States of America” is clearly in SEVERE distress.
Obama is an enemy combatant
Was he waiting on the shooters Muslim burial rituals first?
He waioted until Ramadan as over. He was in NYC for the green lights!!
Yes and so did Trump. Good for them. The only two worthwhile candidates.
Do you know what time Trump actually said to the lower the flag and when it was actually done?
Well go to Trump’s FAcebook page. I looked at it today and I think he called for all his flags to be lowered yesterday and at the same time called for OMuslim to do it.
