So What If McCain Wins?

Or Obama for that matter?
In the 2006 mid-terms, the Democrats took control of both the Senate and House of Representatives, which essentially turned Bush into a “lame duck” president.
What's the likelihood of that happening again?
Meaning, even if Obama does win, how much progress can he really make? Granted: PR-wise, it'll look great for America to have a “black” president; but otherwise? Similarly, if McCain wins, how likely is the world going to end because of him?
If all the checks and balances are in place, the president should be limited in his ability to change things, unless and until he has the backing of the rest of government.
Which means – placing presedential veto rights aside – all the fuss about the present campaign has been major hype, because we have no idea how cooperative the presiding government will be with their new Commander in Chief.
Am I missing something?
I can't wait for Wednesday.
