Obviously that's the case. But the President is the leader of the party, and he can set the agenda. During his health care address, he could have said "Any legislation that does not reduce health care costs by X percent is getting vetoed."
He could have used his pulpit to raise the cost of Lieberboy's opposition to the bill.
He could have done something.
But no, we're supposed to be post-partisan now, so he did what amounted to bupkis.
