He also wants them to start multiple inquires into Obama and his alleged abuse of power.

It sounds like he is calling for them to immediately go after Obama instead of actually doing something constructive.

Add in that the democrats likely learned a few lessons on obstruction from the republicans over the last 6 years so I have a feeling they will be more than happy to try to stop anything the republicans do.

I foresee continued girdlock for a while.
