I'm repeatedly amused at how the first words of that sentence seem to be ignored by everybody who goes on to demonize Obama. (I made them bold for emphasis.) You almost never hear criticism or blame of Congress over this.

There's also only one person who could single-handedly stop this from becoming law. And that one person, that one single point of failure who doesn't have a hive mind to hide behind, is Obama.

But to your point, congress certainly warrants equal rebuke.
