Ted Cruz confronts President Obama at White House
Politico ^ | 10/11/13 | BURGESS EVERETT |

Posted on 10/11/2013 4:38:57 PM PDT by Nachum

Sen. Ted Cruz confronted President Barack Obama over his health care law during a meeting at the White House Friday attended by dozens of GOP senators.

Cruz told Obama that any deal to reopen the government must also provide relief for those negatively affected by Obamacare. In a long gaggle with reporters, Cruz did not use the word “defund” to describe his aspirations for changes to the health care law, but said he wants “substantial” changes.

“I told the president exactly the same thing I have told you here today: That we need to work together and fund the government and at the same time provide substantial relief to the millions of people who are hurting because of Obamacare, who are losing their jobs, being forced into part-time work and losing their health insurance,” Cruz said. “If the outcome doesn’t impact people who are struggling, who are hurting because of Obamacare, then I don’t think it would be a good outcome.”

Red meat for the fascist POLITICO commenters...

Cruz just keeps impressing me more every time he opens his mouth.

The idea of the exchanges is fine, the redistribution of wealth and the tax is not.

Oh but Obozocare is up in the polls, dontchaknow and the Republicans are losing and this was a “fool’s errand” and even though Congress and Big Business are exempt, the American People are SO up set that 17% of the govt is shut down that the Republicans who follow Cruz are wackos....
The GOPe needs to go....

All the rest of the republicans hide behind Cruz occasionally peaking around him to get a look at Nero. When Cruz was done someone wimpered “me too”. At first it a was assumed it was either McCain or Graham but that was later proven false because at the time they were busy washing Nero’s feet.
