Obama and the democrats together only had the political opportunity to squeeze a fraction of his healthcare vision, after which it has since been withering away. The fact that presidents are very expected to be re-elected, but not this time, implies that American voters want a return to norms.
The real lesson is that obama should have expanded executive power even more and done anything he could (including norm breaking) to executive order away as much of the patriot act and guantanamo as the courts would give him.
