Риторика иного рода - это только начало

Вот пишет сторонник Обамы Joe Conason:

"...How can he "seize that future," as he urged us all to do? The conventional wisdom of Washington punditry is already telling the president that he must "work across the aisle" with the Republicans, who will still control the House in January. But while he acknowledged the necessity to reach out to his opponents -- and alluded to his long-held bipartisan spirit -- he hinted that he has learned something else during his contentious first term and this hard, grinding campaign.

If he hopes to leave a legacy of accomplishment in his second term, he cannot count on the cooperation of the right-wing rump in Congress. If he wants to tax the wealthy, reject austerity, implement Obamacare and begin to cope with global warming, he will have to rely upon on the people who entrusted him with their votes, their energy, their hope."

Я что-то не понимаю: он предлагает действовать в обход конгресса?
