Granted, it's on Fox News, so a good amount of bias of the responders is expected.
But for the overwhelming majority of respondents to *expect* the president to be laying down strategies to block the Republicans...well, that says a lot about the perception of the president.
Now this is depressing

Not really, it says a lot about the kind of president, and person, Barack Obama has demonstrated himself to be. You really think this Chicago machine politician who sat in America hater Wright's church for 20 years and has spent the last 2 years insulting and demonizing the entire Republican party is suddenly going to modify himself and his methods? Unlike Bill Clinton, I don't think Obama is capable of it. As I say, it's who he has demonstrated himself to be over and over for as long as he has been in the national eye. It's not merely 'perception' if it's the obvious and amply proven truth.

Obama really doesn't need much to stop the GOP. Pens used to veto are pretty easy to come by.
Of course, nothing is going to pass the Senate that isn't bipartisan, so Obama probably won't have to veto much. -
I expect Obama to simply start doing what he wants by executive order since he can no longer count on a Democrat controlled Congress to do his dirty work.
