I think you missed quoting the best parts of the article. He makes interesting comparisons to Britain.

But, we have a fundamentally different system than the UK. Congress is given the responsibility of Executive branch oversight. Obama should be more assertive about the issue. I don't know if he simply wants the current investigation to be completed first. But, the main responsibility, and blame, belongs to Congress. This is their job first and they need to get it done with or without Obama's support.
