Ted Cruz calls for Obama apology in State of the Union;

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON – Sen. Ted Cruz called Sunday for President Obama to use his State of the Union speech to apologize for the “disaster” of Obamacare and for the fact that his own policies are making income inequality worse.

And an apology isn’t enough, he said.

“If you’re really sorry, you don’t just say you’re sorry. You actually do something to fix the problem,” Cruz said, appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation from Houston. (Transcript here.)

As for Cruz, here was his unsolicited advice as Obama prepares for Tuesday night’s annual address to Congress and the nation.

“One of the things President Obama really ought to do is look in the TV camera and say to the over 5 million Americans all across this country who’ve had their health insurance canceled because of Obamacare, to look in the camera and say, `I’m sorry. I told you if you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it. I told you if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. And that wasn’t true. I’m sorry,’ ” Cruz said.

9. Kicked!.....Thanks for posting.

Right after Ted Cruz's appearance on Face The Nation, Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY), came on the show.

(From the Face The Nation transcript)

Bob Schieffer:."What did you think about what Senator Cruz had to say?"

Sen. Schummer "Well, a lot of it's sort of like Alice in Wonderland....He said the President's
policies haven't worked; but he hasn't let them go into effect...He's blocked
just about every one....And I would say this..I have good news about the debt
ceiling..
I do not believe that Republican leaders will follow Ted Cruz over the cliff once
again.
I believe that we will pass a clean debt ceiling that makes sense.....We don't
want to risk the full faith and credit..We can debate all these other issues at
a different time and place..But I think they learned their lesson with the
government shutdown...Not only did tea Party ratings plummet, but so did
Republican party ratings...And I think there's a new way of thinking in the
Senate and the House among Republicans, so we can get more done in 2014
than we did in 2013.
They are not going to mindlessly follow Ted Cruz and the Republicans over the
cliff into this hard line position.
'Unless we get our way, we're going to hurt innocent people', whether it be by
shutting down the government, or by not renewing the full faith and credit of
the United States."


I guess we can only hope that Schumer is right.
