IMO Democratic House members like Weiner are riled mainly because they finally came to realize they no longer are relevant for the next two years, having lost their House majority primarily because many ran AWAY from President Obama's excellent leadership on health care reform financial reform, economic recovery, etc. etc.

Obama's cutting House Dems out of negotiations with McConnell and Boehner over the tax deal was their first taste of the what they are going to be eating for the next two years. Meanwhile, Obama no longer has to kowtow to the likes of Wiener on the left and Lieberman on the right. He can use Executive Orders freely since a Democratic Congress no longer will hold the President hostage.

Congressional Democrats no longer can be expected to deliver any more victories for President Obama. So he'll issue Executive Orders, have three photo-ops a week to boost his poll ratings, and negotiate with the REPUBLICANS who'll control the House.
