Ted Cruz: Republicans in Washington are ‘Scared’ to Repeal Obamacare, This is Not Good for the Home Team

What are the chances of repealing the nationally unpopular Obamacare health care law? According to Sen. Ted Cruz, the public support might be there, but Republicans in Washington these days lack the courage to actually do something about it:

“What I can tell you is there are a lot of Republicans in Washington who are scared. They’re scared of being beaten up politically,” Cruz (R-Texas) told Glenn Beck on TheBlaze radio show Monday. Simply put, if Americans want the law repealed, then Americans need to take action. “This is our last and best chance, I’m convinced, to stop it, which is why it all depends not on any politician, but on the American people rising up in a way we never seen before,” Cruz added. “That’s what’s got to happen.”

Still No White House Tours, But The Parade of ‘Special Guests’ Continue, Including The Latest ‘Iftar’ Dinner Breaking the Muslim Fast and LGBT Pride Month

White House Tours

Posted on the White House website reads the following statement: ‘Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that WhiteHouse Tours will be canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013 until further notice.

But yet, the elected president of our country can find time to invite foreign ‘diplomats’ that represent hatred and want to kill us, sponsor an ‘Iftar’ dinner for Muslims, and hold a Gay pride month spectacle?  Ladies and Gentlemen, what is wrong with this picture?

From the White House Dossier: The White House continues to bar average Americans from touring “The People House” but nevertheless lavishes spending on all sorts of special invitees – from diners at last week’s Iftar dinner breaking the Muslim fast to sports teams and foreign diplomats.

Obama basketball 2Soon after the outcry over the cancellation of tours due to the sequester, the White House promised to see what could be done to allow some visits to resume. But nothing was done and no one can visit – unless President Obama finds you useful or amusing.

Favored guest have poured in this month, even though Obama was traveling in Africa for part of it.

Last week’s glittering Iftar dinner featured about 130 guests treated to remarks by Obama and bread breaking with senior aide Valerie Jarrett and National Security advisor Susan Rice.

Obama held a mass reception for the entire diplomatic corps July 19. He hosted the 2013 NCAA Men’s Basketball Champion Louisville Cardinals July 23 and will gather with the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants today.

He even found room in the White House for a team that hasn’t won a game in 50 years – the 1963 Loyola University of Chicago Ramblers championship basketball team.

Meanwhile, he had some old buddies in for a July Fourth celebration. And Michelle staged a “Kids’ State Dinner” with dozens of children and their parents to promote her healthy eating initiative.

June’s events included a raucous celebration of LGBT Pride Month, a special movie screening in the White House theater, and visits by the WNBA Champion Indiana Fever and Super Bowl winning Baltimore Ravens and Division III Women’s Basketball Champion DePauw University Tigers.
