Rafael Cruz's call to send Obama back to Kenya "taken out of context"

Ted Cruz is complaining that his father's public proclamation that he would "like to send him (Obama) back to Kenya" was taken out of context.

Okay, Ted... what context would make, "I'd like to send Obama back to Kenya," a reasonable thing to say?

Maybe trying to imagine such a context is a koan, like contemplating, "the sound of one hand clapping."

if anybody wants to know what I would like !!
I am not sure either country would want them back
but that is where they were born
unlike the American born POTUS

Disgusting idiots and then whining about people repeating what they said

The comments were in a Mother Jones expose on Rafael Cruz that includes video of him preaching the virtue of making the United States a “Christian nation” and calling Obama a “Marxist.” Smile you were on camera

actually leaving before Castro took over, something not unlike what the parents of another liar that we know did - Marco "Poland Spring" Rubio.

Apparently Rafael Sr. was a criminal who also bribed an official to get the exit stamp to the U.S., making them both "illegal immigrants" and subject to deporation.

Ted is a special moran, he believes nobody pays attention to the words that come out of his or his daddy's mouth.

It's the whole racist birther stuff again. Obama is not from Kenya, so he can't go back there. He could maybe go back to Hawaii.
