Cruz: 'Less A State of the Union Than a State of Denial'This was less a State of the Union than it was a state of denial," Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Tuesday night, after President Obama delivered his final State of the Union address to Congress.
"He refused to acknowledge the very real challenges facing this country on Iran," Cruz said of the president.
"He didn't say a word about two Navy ships now in Iranian custody, about ten sailors we hope not held as hostages...but the fact that (Ayatollah) Khamenei feels that he is able to seize our ships, and seize our sailors indicates the incredible weakness of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy. And the fact that bullies and tyrants across the world are not afraid of this president, don't respect this president -- and it's made the world much, much more dangerous."...
...Cruz noted that Obama began his speech by telling Americans "how wonderful the economy is."
"You know, if you're a big-government lobbyist in and around Washington, that's right -- six of the ten wealthiest counties in America are in and around Washington," Cruz said. "If you're a billionaire hedge fund manager in New York, that's right -- the rich have gotten richer under Obama."...
