Looks like a lot of people got tired of Obama. Considering he lied to the public about his healthcare "reform" in order to ram it through, it is not too surprising.
Admittedly, I haven't been following US politics as much as I used to, so I'm not sure what the other contributing factors are.
The president is going to have a hard time passing anything that doesn't enjoy good bipartisan support. I do wonder how things will work out going forward.

He's already had a hard time. The republican stance on anything he tries to do has been 'no' regardless of what it is since he got into office, simply to prevent him from getting anything done.
But yeah I haven't been following things enough otherwise to really say what caused this shift.
Tho, what was the lie in regards to obamacare? Personally I'd be pretty fucked right now if that hadn't gone through.

Seems to be the gross misrepresentation of facts as we already know it from Republicans, if that's what you're referring to.
Things aren't going forward anywhere with Republicans in a position of power.

So basically, absolutely nothing will get done for the american people because a broken 2-party system full of old men have grudges against each other.

Pretty much expected that Republicans were going to win Senate. For the House though, it was a bit surprising that Democrats lost.

More of a blaming game. Both sides rarely acknowledge their mistakes and instead blame others for 'em

Always a never ending source of disappointment here in the sunshine state. We could have had a high speed rail system, but Rick Scott gave the finger to the 2 billion federal "Obama" funds, which would have nearly covered the entire project, and screwed us over.
Luckily those funds got reallocated to California for their high speed rail system, since other states were fighting tooth and nail for the opportunity as one of the many backbones to a healthy economy is effective transportation.
Elsewhere in the country the election shows people want the right to abortion, the right to recreational or medical marijuana (we should have learned from the first prohibition by now), social welfare, and higher minimum wage, but GOP representation.
Class confusion at its best this election.

We should vote for Vermin Supreme. He can throw glitters on those old men and make them gay for each other.

Political apathy. Republicans are more likely to vote consistently than Democrats.
Also, Presidents often gain Congress then lose Congress during midterms. Voters vote against the president's party during mditerms.
The kicker is that your usual Republican will likely win 2016 Presidency.
There's no strong opposition
