When asked if he had set a precedent during his time in the Senate that Ted Cruz is now following, President Obama answered:
“If you recall, 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… I didn’t go around courting the media, and I certainly didn’t go around trying to shut down the government.”
“And so I recognize that in today’s media age, being controversial, taking controversial positions, rallying the most extreme parts of your base–whether it’s left or right–is a lot of times the fastest way to get attention or raise money. But it’s not good for government. It’s not good for the people we’re supposed to be serving.”
