He deserves no attention from the WH. Period.

he is a perfect example of the genus : republicanus idioticus .

No one with a modicum of sense should give the clown Cruz any form of attention.

don't even fart in is general direction.

I've no doubt he's an asshole, but it appears he's also a little unhinged.

Teddy must have had a father that.......who knows?...

A legend in his own mind, a self-perceived fighter for the people...

in other words, someone who just ain't all there.

I think he's just another demagoguing two-bit sociopathic grifter with fantasies about being the President of the United States. George Bush really lowered that bar for Republican aspirants.

Do you have any idea how important he thinks he is? Just who do you think he thinks he is? Oh, look, a butterfly.

too many oars in the water. He should leave the Senate and star in a John Waters movie.

after someone says cheer up.

Kind of like Mitch McConnel's just woke up and is surprised to still be alive look.

To be a fly on the wall...

"I loved you in Vanilla Sky."

'Actually, Raphael, I kind of am.'"

government. Neither Branch of Government is the boss of any other. Congress is the only Branch that can remove officials of the other two in addition to its own members.

Hence the "kind of". He's the president. I'm sorry I was too obtuse. Happy?

(Edited 'cause this poor ignorant little thing couldn't spell tripartite either. Happier? )

"Do you remember that fly that buzzed around me when I was trying to conduct my business of the day, you know, during that interview?..."

This is what I expect of him with anyone he has to deal with, foreign or domestics crazies.

Keep your hands and feet in the vehicle at all times
Enter at your own Risk
LOL

just say NO!

Wouldn't it have been great, if the President of the United States, chewed out Ted Cruz?

NEW SUIT 300 DOLLARS...
NEW TIE 28 DOLLARS....
POLISHED SHOES 5 DOLLARS...

THE PRESIDENT CALLING YOU OUT...AS AN IDIOT... PRICELESS....

in this country, Ted. It does not involve forcing a shutdown of the government and threatening default on our debt obligations.

They do not care about people, except themselves, and we all know it. So when they try to pretend to care, it is laughable. It comes off just as phony as it really is.

It's as if he's one of those insult computer programs that takes a few words, turns them around to mean the opposite thing, with no rhyme or reason. Cruz does not believe one single word of that drivel. I hope to hell and back that NO ONE forgets what the GOP is doing to this nation right now.

of why we should never allow Canada to dump their waste here.

Like all T-bagger politicians, including Rand Paul, he is a rich brat living off daddies money.

Same Right Wing Freak Show , just based on a different brand of mythology

Republicans are losing on this. Obamacare was supposed to be their
derisive term for the Affordable Care Act, but at this point I would
venture to say it's here to stay right beside Social Security and Medicare.

Obamacare has been here a week and people are losing their jobs?

OK, there are companies cutting employees to 30 hours, but then
they have to hire other workers, spreading the employment!

And Obamacare will create more Doctor Millionaires with 7 figure
Trust Funds for their kids than anything the GOP ever did.

CruzNoCare.

He was only armed with right wing echo chamber talking points. Now that is sure to impress the President -- NOT

Cruz thought a career at the TeaParty would make him famous - he will be famous for Dr. Suess impersonations!

Green Eggs and Ham?

This is all about him but he doesn't understand that the ACA is not going to be changed in exchange for re-opening the government or raising the debt ceiling. The President has made that clear and the Republicans are backing off on any extortion around the ACA. They are still trying to get "something".

that thirst for constant attention for his lunatics and I hope Pres O started laughing at him.

Shut down the government and get 800,000 out of a job, is he even thinking? Cruz the dictator wannabe has provided a great disservice to America, his plan, ill conceived has caused lots of pain and long lasting pain to the GOP.

and comes of looking, well, like he's fucking crazy.

And since Carney didn't give an account of what was said, crazy cruz can spout off all he wants saying this and that, when in reality Obama probably told him politely to shut the fuck up. And cruz probably did.

"...provide substantial relief to the millions of people who are hurting..."

And people are losing their health insurance due to O-care, losing jobs, etc?

The guy is insane.

You'll find the same phrase, precisely or a variant, in transcripts, videos, and letters. Possibly Frank Luntz or another pollster selected and honed a statement (the oft-repeated "government takeover of health care" claim about the ACA is reportedly also Luntz's handiwork) that they all use. Listen to enough sound bites, media availabilities, and speeches and you'll be able to mouth the words right along with them.

The House GOP members' August letter calling for the defunding of the Affordable Care Act contained a variant of the talking point.

Of course they always claim this is all about jobs, but since they started trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act from the first day of the Republican control of Congress in 2011, when the ACA wasn't even a year old and definitely hadn't gone into effect in full, this is all just for show, and what isn't for show is for spite.

-Laelth

But it might put you in the lead for the Republican nomination

he said?

This guy has to be damaged by drugs...how else can this freak be explained.

Saturday Night Live, Letterman, John Stewart, Steven Kolbert and Leno will have a memorable season.

At the rate that he's making enemies within his party, I doubt that he will be a serious presidential contender in 2016.

lunatic in a time of acute crisis?

that response from carney tells me the topic or subject and perhaps even the physical person - cruz - will not and is not being given any attention.

I am sick of hearing about how the ACA is hurting Americans without the Media questioning them as to who? They keep blurting out this crap like a bunch of goats and no one calls them on it.

Also, notice these moran teabaggers like Ted Crudz never mention cutting any corporate welfare. It's always cutting things poor Americans need, not the rich ones. Will Boner throw corporate welfare on the table to cut?

who are going out of their way to intentionally punish poor people for voting for Obama and being poor.

Want to help people Teddy Boy then why are you not pushing for single payer?

The other day an analysis was linked here that showed that if the USA had implemented the same HC System that France has, the most generous in the world BTW, we could have saved so much money we could eliminate individual federal taxes.

If the GOP wants to get rid of individual taxes they should be pimping single payer big time.

Why does the GOP want to keep individual taxes in America?

SQUIRREL!!!

he stormed the WH all alone and confronted the President. He may have said something during the discussion but so did most of the participants. Big deal. Politico should know better.

Problems solved!!!

No reason now to have part timers

Chances are he would soil himself if POTUS gave him a 'stern talking to' in return for any insolence.

it was a stunt to get attention.
