After attacking Obamacare relentlessly, and threatening to repeal it if elected, Ted Cruz is now using it to get insurance for his family. Oops, my irony meter just threw up again.

Look make no mistake, I still hate the Obamacare that my family is now using. Just hate it!

Ted Cruz is going on Obamacare. 

The newly announced Republican presidential candidate told CNN's Dana Bash on Tuesday that he will sign up for health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act -- a law he has been on a crusade to kill. 

"We'll be getting new health insurance and we'll presumably do it through my job with the Senate, and so we'll be on the federal exchange with millions of others on the federal exchange," Cruz said. 

Asked whether he would accept the government contribution available to lawmakers and congressional staffers for their health care coverage through the ACA, Cruz said he will "follow the text of the law."

You know the funny thing is that the only reason that Senators have to use Obamacare is because they complained when it was first being drafted that Congress would be excused from following the mandate. Gee look how that worked out.

By the way this inspired humorist Andy Borowitz to suggest that President Obama would sign an executive order making Cruz ineligible for Obamacare.

However my favorite satirical piece about Cruz (And trust me they are hard to separate from the non-satirical pieces on him. Like this one for instance.), was from the Onion which suggested that Time magazine subscribers were bracing themselves for the inevitable close up or Ted Cruz's face.

Yeah we can laugh now, until somebody actually has to see it.
