I'm not so sure about that. When Obama first took office the Republicans did everything they could to obstruct him. They carried out a historic number of filibusters and they were "punished" by the voters by gaining seats in the Senate and retaking control of the House. In the 2012 election, after further filibustering and obstruction they retook the Senate as well.
