Someone explain this past election to Harry Reid

Finally the Democrats aren't going to get steamrolled. Finally they're going to stand up to the President and say "No, we will not be your lapdogs anymore!' Finally they are going to exercise authority and oversight. It's just that they're going to do it against the guy who shares their political beliefs and is going to try and pass many of the same plans they also agree with. Guh?
Reid, who lambasted the GOP-led Congress for being a rubber stamp for President Bush, indicated that he will not bow to the Obama administration.

Reid stated, “I don't believe in the executive power trumping everything... I believe in our Constitution, three separate but equal branches of government.”

“If Obama steps over the bounds, I will tell him. … I do not work for Barack Obama. I work with him,” he said.
Uh, Harry? Who is you work for then? Because judging from the last few years, it isn't the American people, or the people who elected you, or registered Democrats. It's nice though that you decided to move from enabling a historically unpopular President with his historically unpopular and at most times illegal polices, to sandbagging a popular recently elected President who shares the same priorities that you allegedly profess to hold.

Boy, this makes me excited for the next two years. A feckless moron who got steamrolled by Republicans every step of the way and just this week figured out a way to get a man legally certified as the winner of the Minnesota election not seated, announces his intentions to show independence just at the time he should be gearing up to help out. Is it too late to get him removed as Majority Leader? He hasn't succeeded at anything and I have no idea how he got the position in the first place. Republicans, you telling me you can't run someone against him? Are there no Nevada Republicans? Help us out. It's just nice to know that when they finally win, there are always enough Democrats ready to cock that big gun and point it squarely at their foot. Congrats Harry, you found a spine, bring it over here so I can hit you with it.
