Control of the Senate won't befront Obama that much as it hasn't since he won re-election. It took the man awhile but he's finally gotten the swing of things in the WH and has realized he can "govern by the pen" as it were as he and his administration simply bypass Congress on many issues where possible.
Proof of this was on Friday when the SCOTUS gave Obama's EPA a win on an important environmental rule. That action joins a long list of issues ranging from immigration to gay marriage to recently commutation of federal prison sentences (for low level offences) where the magic rule making pen was waived and Voila!
