In our most recent election there has been "A big Change". The House and Senate went from total Democratic control to an overload of republicans in the house and now an even closer matchup in Senate. I guess people were just tired of not getting the results that Obama "promised" to us during his campaign for presidency. It took us, the people, two years to make drastic changes but, better late then never. A gain of over 60 seats in the House of Representatives changed hands from Democrats to Republicans, the largest such gain since 1948! Now what does that tell you? People want change, and this time not the change that put Obama in office, but the change that might be able to take Obama out of office. We as Americans need to see results, that is how it has been since George Washington. And if we do not get results, especially results "promised" to us we make changes. That is how it always has been, and how it always will be.

Although I understand where you are coming from in the sense of change, I believe that it is important to note that president Obama has only been in office for 2 years. It took our country 8 years to get into the mess that we are presently in. I feel like it is easy for many people to say that he is not doing anything, just because the economy is not back to where it should be. He has made significant strides in crucial areas like healthcare and stats have shown that our economy is on the rebound. Personally I do not think that having any one particular party as head of the senate or of the house is really going to make a difference because at the end of the day all both parties are going to do is vote down one another's bills, which in essence will only cause rectification to be further delayed.
