I'm sick of hearing this "I want actions" bit. You people are frigging educated enough about politics to know it doesn't work that way. There is no action this President can take that will force the hand of anyone. The only thing he can do is make deals to get conservative and centrist lawmakers to budge. And then you'll just bitch about that too. Ignoring the concepts of how our government works and the numbers that are or aren't in our favor is not helping us to get anything done. It just creates an opening for you to bitch while conveniently ignoring context.
