Why doesn't Obama make the case himself?! After all, he was the one who picked his team and made the decisions to back down to republicans before they threatened, after they threatened, and then a little more for good measure. It was Obama who did everything he could to make it look to everyone like he's working closely and well with republicans.
Now after the President set up this comical facade, we have to explain how and why things were really, really bad? Right.
Your article really makes the point that the President should have fought tooth and nail throughout every day of his term. A public fight has a way of imbuing people with lingering memories punches being thrown in both directions and in the context of the actual battles while they occur. Trying to go through the scorecard of the fight, years later, with people who never knew any fight over things like committee votes existed - is incredibly weak.
And weak is the best word to describe the type of leadership we've gotten from the President. His weakness has brought us to this stage where millions of voters don't understand where he stands. Hopefully, future Democratic candidates will at least learn how NOT to lead.
