Ted Cruz, taking comments by President Obama a bit too personally, said the president should insult him to his face. The Texas senator has certainly said unkind things about the president, but I don’t recall him doing it to the president’s face.

Standing outside of a private club for fancy men this morning, senator and presidential hopeful Ted Cruz made it clear that he is ready to buck with Barack Obama. “If you want to insult me, you can do it overseas, you can do it in Turkey, you can do it in foreign countries,” Cruz intoned. “But I would encourage you, Mr. President, come back and insult me to my face.”

Previously, Obama called Cruz’s proposal that America admit Christian Syrian refugees but not Muslims “shameful,” which it is. The senator’s tough talk in response culminated in a WWF-style challenge to the president: you and me, buddy, debating the merits of your policy on Syria on live TV—I’ll even let you pick the venue.
