DANA BASH, CNN: I want to read to you a description, a Harvard law graduate, 40 something years old, two young daughters, in the senate for only two years who thinks he can be president. I could be describing you; I could be describing Barack Obama.
SEN. TED CRUZ: True enough, but I think there are a lot more notable differences between us than the similarities.
DANA BASH: That is true, but, you know, one of the key things that we're already hearing is you don't have a lot of experience when it comes to being in federal office or being in office at all and this you're, you know, too young and too inexperienced for the job.
TED CRUZ: Dana, I think there are two sharp distinctions between where I am today and where Barack Obama was when he launched his campaign. Number one, in his time in the senate he had basically been a back bencher. He had not been leading on any issues. In my time in the Senate you can accuse me of being a lot of things but a back bencher is not one of them.
DANA BASH: That may be true, but the big criticism of President Obama especially as the years have gone on is he didn't have any experience in an executive function, he didn't run any organization and the same can be said about you. What experience do you have to be commander in chief of the United States military, for example?
TED CRUZ: Well, unlike Barack Obama, I was not a community organizer before I was elected to the senate. I spent 5 1/2 years as the solicitor general of Texas, the chief lawyer for Texas in front of the U.S. Supreme Court.

Probably not afraid to show his grades and such from school either!
One thing about Bammy being a “Community Organizer” that someone should point out.
In Chicago a black Democrat “Community Organizer” basically is a thug who is selling protection to white businesses. Give us what we want or we will riot and burn down your businesses. Jesse Jackson has been doing a variation of it for decades.
I tried unsuccessfully to explain that to the libs back in 2007. Pissing into the wind. They are so damn stupid.
Thnx.....
Quick Google shows that his wife was a member of the CFR but let her membership expire before her husband (Ted) made verbal attacks against the globalist organization.
Mrs. Cruz also served as the economic director of the National Security Council.

They are willfully stupid. Truth is whatever they choose to believe, and actual reality has no meaning.
Wow...Thanks for that.
Stating the obvious i know. Because the leftist media is WARPED!
Did Dana Bash grill Obama like this?
Who doesn’t remember the preoccupation with Sarah Palin’s lack of experience. And the virtually non-exist concern about Ibama.
NOW they are concerned about EXPERIENCE??? Sure.
I first heard of Cruz when he was one of the leaders on the Second Amendment cases in SCOTUS. Many attorney generals on the state level came through for us. Two of the leaders were Greg Abbott and Ted Cruz.
Obama on the other hand worked for ACORN.
If they keep pushing the Senate thing, he needs to say: “Unlike Mr. 0bama, I have NEVER voted ‘present’ at any time on the floor of the Senate. Would you like to know how many times Mr. 0bama voted ‘present’?”
he voted present a lot! does that count?
the more they try to knock him down.. the higher he will rise, because he is frankly smarter than them and can perfectly articulate conservatism.
The best thing they could do would be to ignore him.
The best crack on the Community Organizer thing was Sarah Palin at the Republican National Convention when she said being the Mayor of Wasilla was kinda like being a community organizer but with real responsibilities. ZINGO!
Most of these types have no shame.
