They are not functioning as checks and balances. They are refusing to function at all.
Your ridiculous either-or, black-white hyperbole about "Obama destroying this country" is factually beyond absurd. Wall Street is screaming with profit, GDP is up, deficit is down, unemployment is down, millions of jobs have been created, a Depression was averted, we are out of a terrible war.
Yes, there's more to do. Duh.
The Republican Party no longer exists except in name. The majority membership of that party over the past 50 years is gone, replaced by John Birchers and other extremists. It is in flux. We'll see if it survives or dies, and what emerges from the flames.
