President Obama has decided that if he cannot co-opt Congress he will simply ignore it.
From Reuters :
President Barack Obama this week will announce a series of actions to help the economy that will not require congressional approval, including an initiative to make it easier for homeowners to refinance their mortgages, according to a White House official.

Reuters seems content to let stand the assertion that Republicans are responsible for all the ills of the nation. One would think that journalistic integrity would compel them to dig beyond the rhetoric and at least make a half-hearted effort at finding the truth. Alas…
In Denver Wednesday, Obama will announce a student loan initiative.
“The only way we can truly attack our economic challenges is with bold, bipartisan action in Congress,” White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer told The New York Times.
“The president will continue to pressure Congressional Republicans to put country before party and pass the American Jobs Act, but he believes we cannot wait, so he will act where they won’t.”
