By David Sherfinski - The Washington Times - Friday, March 13, 2015
Sen. Ted Cruz, Texas Republican, said President Obama's legacy will be a Republican president who will have to come and and clean up his mistakes.
"Obama's legacy is going to be the election of a Republican president in 2016 — like Reagan after Carter in 1980 — whose job it will be, among other things, to fix all the mistakes made by this administration," Mr. Cruz told Israel Hayom.
"I'm convinced we will find the candidate who will get our support for the 2016 elections," said Mr. Cruz, who could run for president in 2016. "I believe the American people want change, among other things to restore the American dream."
Mr. Cruz has been an aggressive critic of the administration's ongoing negotiations over Iran's nuclear program, and lamented what he called an antagonistic attitude the administration is displaying toward Israel.
"The policy of Obama and Clinton, to lead from behind, hasn't contributed a lot," he said, referring to Democratic presidential frontrunner and former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. "It is increasingly harder for America's friends to trust her, while for America's enemies it's the opposite."
He said that America and Israel will remain "friends forever" but that he's very sorry the administration is exhibiting "unprecedented antagonism toward Israel, and by doing so is harming the relationship and even jeopardizing the security of Israel and the national security of the United States."
