fuck this guy and his buddies



GOP presidential candidates are throwing down the gauntlet.

Clearly irritated with President Obama’s recent jabs at Republicans who are opposed to accepting Syrian refugees on American soil, three White House hopefuls – Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie – are firing back.

The most aggressive was Cruz, who happily assumed the role of Obama’s chief antagonist Wednesday while speaking to reporters outside of the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, D.C.

“Let me suggest something Mr. 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, Mr. President, come back and insult me to my face,” Cruz said. “Let’s have a debate on Syrian refugees right now. We can do it anywhere you want. I’d prefer it in the United States and not overseas where you’re making the insults.”

I heard Limbaugh today ranting on this and he told his audience that he had no idea where Pres. Obama got that from.

I suspect that none of their press is going to let their droolers know either.

Throw a punch at the president ? I would love for him to try it. He would be tackled by secret services and led away in a straight jacket. Maybe that is president Obama's strategy. Have them go totally bonkers and snap.

You're just trying to get in the papers to drum up some interest in your run for President. Don't take the bait, Mr. President (not that I would expect him to even acknowledge this clown has spoken out loud).

39. Obama chides anti-refugee crowd for being ‘scared of widows and 3-year-old orphans’
Thu Nov 19, 2015, 07:47 PM
Nov 2015
President Barack Obama, speaking in the Philippines on Wednesday, took shots at politicians back home who are trying to close America’s borders to refugees.

“When candidates say we shouldn’t admit 3-year old-orphans, that’s political posturing,” Obama said at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Summit in Manila — making a veiled reference to GOP candidate and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. “When people say we should have a religious test, and only Christians, proven Christians, should be admitted, that’s offensive, and contrary to American values.”

He added, taking another jab: “These are the same folks often times that say they’re so tough that just talking to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin or staring down ISIL (ISIS) or using some additional rhetoric will solve the problem — and they’re scared of widows and 3-year-old orphans.”

A growing chorus of mostly Republican governors has called for their states to be shut to Syrian refugees. But it is unlikely that the federal government would actually be restricted by local whim.
