There have been many who say that Obama needs to work with the republicans. I have said it before and believe that they have no interest in being worked with. The road map of obstruction they have laid out the the steps the democrats to have taken to overcome it will likely cause a gridlock on future congresses for the foreseeable future no matter who is in the white house.

I agree.
To take it further, the Republicans attacked Clinton with the Monica Lewinsky, which was nothing more than a massive miscarriage of justice. They were trolling desperately trying to implicate Clinton in the White Water and caught President Clinton in a minor lie about his infidelity, completely unrelated to their original investigation, and then tried to impeach him. This is political trolling at the highest level.
Now the Republican party fires off lawsuits at will. How many lawsuits have they filed to stop Obamacare? 100? 120? 130? And all of the have failed.
Now the Republican party's entire plan is "Instead of doing our job let's just try to make the president look bad". Obamacare? Is it really so bad that they had to file 100 lawsuits over it? Benghazi? How the White House decided to downplay a terrorist attack isn't too important. The IRS thing? That was a government agency doing it's job - looking for people trying to commit tax fraud - and it had nothing to do with the President. Now they want to file a lawsuit because Obama used executive orders one fourth as much as Bush did? Now they are complaining about appointees - The ones the Republican party is blocking? What a fucking joke already.
The Republican party needs to start doing it's job and start giving some thought to the next election - because what they are doing now is not working and will be a moot issue when Obama leaves the White House in two years.
