That's not entirely true.

How are the republicans refusing to "let" Obama do anything?

Republicans only control the house, and have only controlled the house for 1 year. Democrats have controlled the senate since Obama took office, and for 2 years prior they virtually controlled both the house and the senate, yet couldn't even produce a budget, and still can't. The house has passed 30 bills that Reid is sitting on and won't even allow them to be debated in the senate, much less voted on. So how exactly do you suppose that republicans are preventing anything?
