FULL TITLE: Obama on Sen. Ted Cruz: attention-seeker at fault in government shutdown; Cruz says the president is playing games
The man with the biggest megaphone in Washington, President Barack Obama, has called out Texas junior senator as an attention-seeking upstart.
When I came into the Senate, my attitude was I should just keep a pretty low profile in the Senate and just do the work, he said, contrasting the early days of his own brief Senate career with the nine-month tenure of Sen. Ted Cruz. I didnt go around courting the media, and I certainly didnt go around trying to shut down the government.
update 4pm: Cruz responds by accusing Obama of offering partisan jabs and playing games with the shutdown to maximize its painfulness. (full statement below)

"When I came into the Senate, my attitude was I should just keep a pretty low profile in the Senate and just do the work, Low profile?
Is that what one calls beginning a Presidential Campaign 145 days after arriving at the Senate?
He wasn't in there long enough to find the bathroom.

OMG - zero just kept his head down and did the work. Like voting “present”? Like planning to run for POTUS? What work did this idiot EVER do in any job? As a state seator he got credit for other people’s work - in fact his mentor admitted that.

You Obama didn’t have you Obama to deal with. There was someone qualified to be our President in the WH at that time.

I hope so, because it just may be the funniest thing I have seen in a while.

Realize this is from the Dallas newspaper but read some of the comments anyway. Are there any Conservatives left up there or did they all move to Fort Worth? Dallas sounds as bad as Houston.
