I say this because it's his job to get things done, what ever the reason, it's not getting done. Right now he is bypassing anything he wants to pass by executive order and congress is not getting a vote. Congress are the representatives of the people and Obama is not the king!

The difference is that you can fire the CEO or some/all of the VP's. In this case you can't (at least until the election and only then if they are voted out) so you end up with republicans that refuse to work with the president or democrats and the democrats unable to change their minds and nobody is going anywhere.
It seems like in the past there were always some people on the opposing side that were willing to work with the other party. For example, Newt worked with Clinton. Right now it seems like there are none of those people and we are starting to see that if you do work with the president you get primaried. Ask Cantor how well agree with the president on the need for immigration reformed worked out for him.
