Sen. Ted Cruz seized the opportunity afforded by a White House invitation to confront President Barack Obama over his healthcare plan.
Cruz said he appreciated the chance to go see the president — but then presented him with "substantial" changes for Obamacare.
In the meeting, also attended by dozens of other Republican senators, Cruz refrained from using the word "defund," reports Politico. Instead he told Obama that all sides need to "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 he told the president that a deal to reopen the government must also provide relief for those affected by the Affordable Care Act.
One participant at the gathering told The Dallas Morning News that Obama seemed to "bite his tongue," while Cruz was talking.
Cruz said Friday he's happy there are finally discussions being held.
"That is an improvement," he said. "There was an awful lot of talk, but then, at the end of the day, the president still said he wouldn't negotiate."
But while Cruz has been focused on defunding Obamacare, leading the charge on attacking the insurance program as a condition for reopening the government, he denied Friday he's responsible for the government shutdown, instead blaming Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.
"I opposed the shutdown from Day One," insisted the Texas freshman senator, who has come under fire from senior Republican lawmakers, who say he is fighting against Obamacare without having a real strategy.
"I think it was wrong that President Obama and Harry Reid forced the shutdown," Cruz told reporters. "They forced the shutdown because they wouldn’t compromise on Obamacare."

“We should pray for the safety of Ted Cruz.”
That is exactly what I thought when I heard him at that gathering and there were hecklers in the room and they were removed. I thought his life is in danger, walking and talking there on that stage with not even a podium in front of him and telling it like it is. I fear for his life.
Exactly. Obama versus Cruz is like bringing a Twinkie to a pie fight.
News just said Obama is now in Hawaii playing golf.
Must be nice to take another vacation when the government is shut down over his insistence on making the poor even more poor and the middle class destitute insofar as he is able.
Even though Monday was originally posted as a federal holiday, during the shutdown, no holidays are supposed to be recognized,....I guess except for those who are considered above the law.
Of course it is...evil entrenched will kill before admitting wrong. That is why we have had war throughout human history.
Obama and his minions are as evil as any who have ever lived on planet earth.
Pick a day, any day and make it known, shut down the Secret Service for 24 hours.
No Golf that day.
I have thought this same thing, and am praying for his and Mike Lee’s safety.
He is the Hitler of our time and it took a world war to stop Hitler. I think Hussein, unknown to him, is a minion of Satan, setting the stage for the last days and they are here.
News just said Obama is now in Hawaii playing golf.
I don’t believe it.
He was biting his tongue so he wouldn’t reveal that he has the same understanding of the deathcare plan as his voters.
I was just thinking, shouldn’t the GOP explain to the young adults that the reason tuition has gone up is because of gov’t grants and loans and the same will happen with healthcare? They might understand it that way.
I think Hussein, unknown to him, is a minion of Satan, setting the stage for the last days and they are here.
He’s putting everything in place for the anti-Christ to come on the scene.
I think he accepts his evilness because he is against all that is good, which America was founded upon. He’s Demonically controlled.
BO watched the Values Summit and knew the senator would clean his clock!
Winner. Ding, ding, ding. You nailed it.
He bit his tongue because he is plotting revenge.
Stick your finger in his eye, Ted! (Unless you’re afraid of getting AIDs or some other horrible disease.)
Exactly. Obama has chosen sides.
They will do whatever they can get away with.
