If Obama couldn't get it done after the 2008 election, when 10 million more people showed up to vote for him and a Democratic agenda, why would he be able to do it after 2012?   Due to gerrymande­ring and redistrict­ing, Congress was as 'Democrati­c' as it was ever going to be in the foreseeabl­e future.  The most who would ever (in my lifetime certainly) vote for Democrats turned out in 2008. 

If he couldn't get it done then, it's because he doesn't want to.
