Washington Post: For four years, Republicans in Congress have been accused of obstructing President Obamas agenda. Now, with the House and Senate under their control, GOP leaders are ready to turn the tables.

Obama is so loath to make the call that deliberations have entered their sixth year, nearly as long as he has held office.
