It is telling that you would pick on this obscure statement by Cruz. Of all the lies this year, this statement was one of the more benign.
Obama considered ISIL a "JV Team" not worthy of his focus or attentions, and ISIL proceeded to roll over Syria and Iraq, slaughtering thousands in the process, beheadings, slavery, refugees, etc. The death and destruction (not to mention the loss of American life and treasure in the loss of Iraq) caused by Obama's failure to recognize the threat pales in comparison to the Cruz statement.
Don't forget, Obama had plenty of warnings about the ISIL threat; but he prefered to ignore those warnings......ladedah, ladedah, ladedah.....No one died as a result of the Cruz statement; same can't be said for Obama's inactions.
But while we're discussing this topic, how about just about anything that escaped Ted cruz's mouth in 2014.
I'm particularly fond of the one about ISIL nailing Christians to trees.
