The NYT reports: One day after President Obama assailed the "political posturing" of Republicans who have called for barring Syrian refugees from entering the United States, Senator Ted Cruz retorted: "Come back and insult me to my face." Cruz challenged Obama to a public debate on refugee policy, criticizing Mr. Obama for having made his remarks on a trip to Manila. "I prefer it in the United States and not overseas, where you're making the insults," Mr. Cruz said. "It's easy to toss a cheap insult when no one can respond."
