No, I'm not. Far from it, in fact. But I do assume he wants to do something with the remainder of his term.
Personally, I'm fine with gridlock. It means nothing happens for two years except endless fiscal crisis, but it also means the main achievement of the first term, ACA, is defended until, as the WSJ puts it today, the "roach motel" has a chance to work: once you check in, you can't check out. And if nothing else is achieved, that's enough for me. (Though we'll probably see at least one Supreme Court nomination added to the list as a bonus).
However, since politics is war by other means, I do assume that the Democrats want to defeat the GOP. Exploiting their weaknesses is the best way to do it, I submit.
