The American government is actually a dictatorship, and everything Obama says, and does, must be followed by Congress.

If Obama says something will happen a certain way, Congress just provides window dressing.

Rahm's job is just to make it look like Obama talks and negotiates with congress, when the real secret is that Congress is just filled with obedient servants to the Dear Leader.

Thus, anything Congress does, or doesn't do, is REALLY Obama's doing.
