29. He can use executive orders. He can rally the base.
He could do everything Truman did between 1946 and 1948(other than the loyalty oath thing).

And he could make a point of vetoing everything the Boehnerhaus passes, since it will all be loathesome.

He can only gain from growing a spine.

Compromises like this are the path to certain defeat. It's impossible that the people would give Obama any credit if there was an economic recovery now. They'll credit it all to Boehner.
