Ted Cruz calls Obama communist, gloats about Boehner quitting, threatens to assassinate Irans supreme leaderWASHINGTON Sen. Ted Cruz was in rare form Friday morning at the Value Voters Summit, calling President Barack Obama a communist, gloating over Speaker John Boehners sudden resignation, and threatening the assassination of Irans supreme leader.
Cruz has been a favorite for years at the annual summit, an event produced by the Family Research Council.

Warming up the ballroom full of conservative activists, Cruz noted that Obama was meeting today at the White House with Chinas President Xi.
Media all across the world are reporting on this historic meeting of the worlds most powerful communist and the president of China, Cruz quipped, drawing laughter.

Just another grifter, soaking the rubes for a few more bucks while he pretends to run for President

since he is not working. Actually nobody running for president should be paid for traipsing across America running for president. If you can't show up for work everyday, why should they be paid?
