What happened to Obama after the 2010 Midterms elections?

-The Democrats had lost control of the House, making it hard for Obama to do his legislative goals. -During the elections, the Republican Party made a National pledge: The Pledge to America. This gave the Speaker, John Boehner, a mandate to change. -The failure of Both sides to agree on Budget issues led to a 16 Day Federal Government Shutdown in 2013. When the Democrats lost control of the Senate in the 2014 Midterms, because of legislation gridlock, led to Obama's legislative goals dead in the water.
