To some degree, he is certainly trying to influence public opinion during a time of crisis. This is not unusual. All modern presidents, when they feel their agenda is being stymied by congress, will go to the media, either by doing one-on-one interviews, or arranging for coverage of an event where the problem will be discussed. Presidents will also go out and make public appearances to rally their supporters and get them to put pressure on congress to take action.

President Obama is no exception, and follows in a long line of other presidents who did similar things to try to push through certain policies or get congress to break through a stalemate. In this case, as with the 1995 Republican shut-down, the president wants to accomplish two things: to ask the public for help in protesting what the Republicans in congress have done; and to call attention to what he believes are the unreasonable demands being made by the Republicans.
