It does lead to some interesting counterfactuals to consider what the country may have looked like if Obama didn't spend all his change on the ACA, and instead focused solely on job creation. Let's not forget that the tea party grew out of a backlash to the ACA, although I'm not sure it wouldn't have still popped up if health wasn't the issue at hand. Maybe when the GOP repasses Obamacare and calls it something else things can begin to get back to a more normal power/opposition situation. I fear, however, that ideological purity on both sides (yes, liberals, you're horrible at this, too) has entrenched itself very deep.
