The kids had total control of the car keys and did their little joy ride, so the adults had to take the keys from them. That's what happens when you act irresponsibly. You liberals seem to think that the adults should join the joy ride and not go to work. Sorry, but you lefties lost your right to have a say. It's time for YOUR side to start compromising. You had total control and your side ran amok, getting what accomplished? Obamacare. Nothing else. And Obamacare is a disaster. The right did not vote for it because they knew it was a disaster. You all complained and called us the party of "NO." The people spoke and you lost total control of congress. Obama will leave the White House in disgrace, having nothing to show for his time but a failed legacy, party and racial divide and a leaderless world in chaos.

The Democrats did not have total control in 2009, and 2010.
Did The Democrats Ever Really Have 60 Votes In The Senate, And For How Long?
They didn't have a filibuster proof Senate, and McConnell used the filibuster on just about everything. The Republicans earned the name "the party of No". McConnell is paying the price for that now, because goes around comes around. Now, the Republicans have to deal with the Democrats filibustering just about everything. Too bad, so sad!
Who is defining what is the right direction, and what is the wrong direction? Let me guess. Everything the Republicans want to do is right, and everything the Democrats want to do is wrong. That is just so obvious to everyone with a closed mind.
Obamacare is disaster. Is it? It may be a disaster in Republican control states that did everything to make sure that it failed. There are a lot of states that would disagree with the blanket statement that it is a failure. Take Obama's name of it, and it would be just fine.
How many lefties voted for John Kasich? I am a registered Republican.
Do you remember this statement by a Republican congressman, "give us everything that we want, and we will call that a compromise." Is this the compromise that Democrats should strive for getting everything they want? I am sure they will have no problem with that definition of compromise. If you have noticed, and by your comment you haven't, compromise is a swear word in DC. Republicans keep on throwing Reagan's name out there as a shining example of their party. Reagan worked with Tip O'Neil to get things done. This must have been one of Reagan's short comings.
The people spoke, and so did Gerrymandering. What happened in DC? Not a damn thing. So, they are speaking again with Trump. If the Republicans put Trump as their nominee, they could very well say goodbye to the Senate. Speaking and not listening seems to be bridge to far for the Republicans.
Obama legacy will be just fine. The Congress, and the Senate in his term will be a whole different matter.
