I think Congress has taken every opportunity to posture and have made it clear that they intend to be an equal branch of power. On the other hand, Obama promised real change. He can hardly be expected to deliver it if Congress is just going to filibuster everything he tries to do. Regardless of if Congress was designed to be equal, it doesn't mean it is anymore.

Who will take the blame when he fails to deliver with a Congress that won't pass his bills? He and he alone, for the most part. I'm not saying he should take Stewart's advice. I'm just asking what alternative you'd suggest? Pushing everything through Congress worked for Bush, something you seem to have forgotten.

The system is broken somewhere when nothing gets accomplished because of its design.
