This whole event seem to give Obama ideas of how to handle the next four years; (House is unlikely to change much). Essentially, the House would have no ability to support Obama even if they wanted to. So Obama would need to engineer the political landscape so that something would happen if the House don't act. To make a "No" vote something that matters.
To make the government's wheels turn, Obama is going to have to make the House pay for doing nothing.
