Nah, Rajvik. Cruze pushed the matter. The simple fact of the matter is that there was no way for us to operate in the black with everything we had on our plates back then - not unless you wanted to pull the plug on a lot of things we needed.
President Obama's message was simple: You, the voice of a minority, do not get to hold the Nation hostage over something we can't do anything about without doing great harm to ourselves. The only reason Cruze hasn't been recalled is because... Well, Texas, you know? Home of the ridiculously gerrymandered Republican supermajority. (And if you think our districts aren't gerrymandered, then I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you!)
