The Voters have spoken! Yeah right.......

Today President Obama was giving a speech where he said that the voters have spoken, that they want progress and for Washington to just be politics as usual. This seems to be referring to his reelection. But by my count, nothing has changed at all in washington. It seems like the voters are ok with this gridlock and divided Government. Yes, The president won reelection, but so did the majority of republican house members as well as Democratic senate members. This seems to say that the voters wanted nothing changed. I simply don't' follow the logic any other way. The argument seems to be, that since Obama was reelected, the voters aggree with his agenda and want it passed and are against the obstructionist measures of the republican congress. There are two problems with this. It is arbitrary to label the house the "obstructionist" since it requires both houses to pass a bill, and the senate voted down several of the House's bills that were passed, so they are probably more obstructionist than the house. Secondly, if the voters were so against the house, why were they elected? It seems to me this argument is bunk, and that the voters do want a continuation of business as usual. However counterintuitive that may seem.
