Ummm. it’s okay for Obama not to compromise, but when ted does it, it is evil.
Obama was the one who put the shutdown in place.
And then Obama was the one who shut down publicly visible landmarks and open spaces out of spite. He spent money to erect “Barrycades” and he’d planned to do so before Ted Cruz ever fillibustered.
There is a saying: compromise between good and evil always is to evil's advantage.
If you're operating under the assumption that Obama is evil, and Cruz is good, then applying the above Obama's compromising benefits evil just as Cruz's compromising does.
