Wanna borrow my scissors so you can cut the blindfold off? Congress. RP (and GJ) has zero friends from his party in Congress. Sure, there are members of congress that would probably believe in the L ideas on some issues and go for it, but by and large, BO has supporters in congress... either by policy or party. So yes, RP wouldn't have a whole lot of power, but BHO does because of party politics.
