Ja.

I find it remarkable that Senator Ted Cruz is getting so much criticism.
Reasoning: Barack Obama commented that "...raising America's debt limit is a
sign of leadership failure."  Therefore, Cruz' fight against raising the
debt limit is a sign of leadership success.

"It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from
foreign countries to finance our government's reckless fiscal policies."
Obama, 2006

So Cruz is fighting against asking for foreign aid, and is against reckless
fiscal policies.

Mr. Obama considered raising the debt a threat to national security.  So
when Ted Cruz opposes it, he is speaking in support of national security.

As I see it, the Tea Party has constituents from everywhere along the
traditional political spectrum from far right to far left and everything in
between.  The de facto leader is saying the same thing now that Barack Obama
was saying seven years ago.  So the one feller who said it then was elected
president and the other feller who is saying the same thing now is having
his life threatened.

What changed?
