I totally disagree with that.
There was no point in passing things only to have the president veto them, so they had to shelve those things and just do what they could in the meantime.
Prior to the 2006 election most people assumed that if the Dems got the majority, the President would have to work with them and compromise on some things, the way Clinton did with the Republican majority in the 90's. (yeah there was the shutdown and all of that, but afterwards they were able to find the middle ground on alot of things)
Instead, the President was willing to stand his ground and run out the clock. This President is uniquely ignorant and stubborn in that way.
