Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama walked into the White House nearly six years ago with a robust Senate majority and a promise to change politics.
Now, he's heading into his final years of office estranged from Democrats in the minority on Capitol Hill, facing Republicans uninterested in making big compromises and a public that has largely moved on from the heady early days of the administration.
Obama is "anxious to get back to work" and put the midterms behind him, according to a White House official who spoke on the condition of anonymity, adding the president regards the final two years of his term as a "fourth quarter" with the potential for real action.
He is scheduled to address the midterm results on Wednesday afternoon, just as he did in 2010 when he labeled the Republican takeover the House a "shellacking." The White House invited bipartisan congressional leaders for a meeting on Friday afternoon to map out the lawmaking terrain for the next two years.

This will never happen as long as there's a split government.

Obama will go rouge with Executive Orders.

US politics seems to messy.

Add government to that.

[MikeSangelo]

Typical U.S. politics.

Executive orders are exactly that, an executive decision/implementation that is not a terrorizing right. Considering Obama has nothing near the amount of actions from the Bush administration, we'll be just fine. Promise.

Promise.

That is what you get using a non-democratic election system that embraces dualism instead of understanding people have more choices as two. Even the UK is slowly moving towards a multi-party system.

Our system has always been more open to other parties, at least more so than the US strict two horse race.

I'm not sure wether you're bashing the UK on the sly or wether you're up to something else, god knows what, but how is your countries multi party system coming along?

Our system has always been more open to other parties, at least more so than the US strict two horse race.

It's certainly there now with parties that have ran the UK decades being kicked down the ladder by parties like UKIP.
