Rep. Cramer: Obama is too much of a “political junkie”

Freshman North Dakota Rep. Kevin Cramer said he was struck by just how much the cable-news kibitzers and partisan commentators appeared to weigh on Obama’s mind.

“I find him to be quite interested in politics. You don’t usually expect the president to use such specific, partisan political imagery,” Cramer said, referring to the president’s comments on particular media outlets. “I was like, wow, really? I don’t even have time to watch Fox News … I actually found him to be more of a political junkie than someone would expect someone at his level to be.”
