Texas Senator Ted Cruz was seventeen different kinds of outraged when President Obama went to Cuba.  I’m telling you that he was so mad that sweat was the only thing that kept him from spontaneously combusting.

“It is so sad, and so injurious to our future as well as Cuba’s, that Obama has chosen to legitimize the corrupt and oppressive Castro regime with his presence on the island.”

However, Cruz didn’t say one damn word when Texas Governor Greg Abbott went to Cuba.

And why is that?  Because Governors have uh well uh ….

“You cannot equate the two,” Cruz campaign spokeswoman Catherine Frazier said. “Cruz opposes President Obama’s policy to give an economic lifeline to Cuba. However, he understands the difficult position that governors are put in by this ill-advised policy, and the responsibility they have to promote and grow their own economies for their own states.”

And Presidents don’t grow economies. No, wait. That doesn’t sound right.

And Ted’s saying that if you oppose Obama’s policies, you should just go along and do what’s best for your state unless except that might mean healthcare for the working poor and children. Oh well, look on the bright side: maybe we can send those children to Cuba to get healthcare.

Abbott’s trip to “grow economies” for Texas only works if the embargo is lifted.  So, if President Obama’s trip doesn’t work, then Greg Abbott just wasted a whole bunch of money going to Cuba.

Ted, you got your tang tungled.
