Some interesting comments by Cruz on President Obama. Comments start @22.39 into the video

I think history shows that it is common for worthy opponents to come to mutual respect. In this case it is a battle of ideas between the individualism of a Cruz and the collectivism of an Obama. I wonder if Pres. Obama will ever reciprocate. Bill Clinton and W Bush wound up as buddies. Politics=strange bedfellows.

Bill Clinton was at the time of his presidency and still is professionally managed by H.W.

This is Bill:

Cruz doesn't mean any of what he says. He is a Snake Oil Salesman, and just trying to sell the idea he is not a bad guy. His act works on the weak minded sheep that believe everything he says, when his record says just the opposite. we all know how he feels about Obama. He has had years to make that point. He doesn't care about anyone but himself, and has no respect for anyone, or this Country. Cruz is all about Cruz.

So step right up and get your bottle of "Cruz Snake Oil Remedy" for voters everywhere.

Everything that comes out of that person's mouth sounds to me like complete bulls***.

You really believe that? Who is the "worthy" other opponent? Cruz? That's hilarious. Cruz has a better chance of growing antlers, than becoming worthy of anything besides the blunt of Jokes.

This is just a name-calling argument. Very weak.

Are you all missing what he's saying?

Yes, O believes in government control, that's the fricken problem. Yes he does want government controlled economy and government control in our day to day lives. Yes, he will sacrifice for those principles, and yes he has been effective in advancing those principles...look how many people voted for him TWICE despite the fact that they weren't happy with him before the second time around. Look how many people bought the "rock star" "cool guy" image and voted for him? Look how many fricken lies he's told...to push forward his government controlling principles. How many have been thrown under the bus so that O could push forward his government controlling principles.

Cruz nailed it. And he isn't being nice. Did any of you even listen to the video?
