So now when the Republicans take over...he's fucked.
Doesn't that only apply to the senate? There is still plenty of opportunities to obstruct in the house and there are still many procedural things the opposing party can and (and in the current case are) do(ing) To slow things down.

There has always been partisan opposition, it is the nature of politics, it has just been taken to a new level in the last 5-6 years and I see that trend continuing.
