Ted Cruz cracks jokes about President Obama at the Value Voters Summit on Friday morning.
First up, the teleprompter president: "So I gotta ask," he says as he steps onto the stage next to two teleprompters. "What are these things?"
"Is Barack Obama coming?"
Next on the target list, the president's ego: "Yesterday, Pope Francis was in Washington. Wonderful to welcome him here, but the press conference was a little bit awkward. Because every time the reporters addressed a question to 'his holiness,' Barack Obama answered."
Finally: "And today, the president of China, President Xi, is in town. Media all over the world are reporting on this historic meeting of the world's most powerful communist... And the President of China."

Ted Cruz is the only candidate who will return the GOP to its small gov't, constitutional origins.
Why is he calling the Pope - His Holiness. That’s pandering, IMO. I don’t see him as Holy - not with is viewpoints.
THE VERY FINEST “political speech I have heard since Ronald Reagan!!
ROLL ON TED!!!!
If they put a debate between Cruz and Hillary on pay-per-view, Floyd Mayweather would be envious.
every time the reporters addressed a question to ‘his holiness,’
he used the term in the context....of a joke....
I love Ted’s courage.
Umm, that’s his title. It’s also the setup for the punchline, the joke doesn’t work without it.
He didn’t. Ted Cruz quoted the *reporters* as using the phrase “his holiness.”
Why so prone to see Cruz as “pandering”? Is Trump your guy? Or Jeb?
...with no fight-back from Republicans.
Fighting back, mocking & ridiculing Barack & Dems will gain him points from the base.
No one is holy but God. The title is as blasphemous as the office.
Le Burn!
Next time you’re at the store, pick up a sense of humor. You could use one.
Because he's a grown-up.
It was a joke - a tongue-in-cheek reference to Obama’s ego. Ted Cruz is an evangelical Christian and he knows that Il Papa is just another man.
And here is what happened to Boehner at the hands of conservatives.

He isn’t. He is making a joke about Obama.
There was to be a moratorium on the Catholic bashing,but the snake handlers have no self control.
Ridicule is the most potent form of opposition. Ted is awesome.
