If republicans manage to take the senate, they can send budgets and hundreds of other bills to obama. The budgets can include NO money for the things that they want to end. He will have to either sign or veto them. If it is a veto, he is then the one obstructing progress in Washington. If the government shuts down because obama refuses to sign the bills to keep it running he gets the blame and democrats are exposed for what they really are.
The problem with that scenario is that the press will still say that it is the republicans obstructing progress in Washington. The majority of voters will believe them, and there you are - You Got a Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road.

The Republicans will take majority in the Senate...
Unlikely to gain a filibuster proof majority however....
This is a normal happening, things change...
Obviously I am of a extremely minority viewpoint. I think our political system still works pretty damn well..
Sure it's messy and inefficient..it always has been.. The population more than doubling in last 50 years has only made it more unwieldy and complex..
Reality... and it's still pretty good.

It will be interesting to see, if the NDCP does gain control of the Senate, whether the Republicans retain and use the controls (imposed by Dirty Harry) on the Democrats or submit to the new cries of "unfair" by the Obamunists and media.

Calling him a little "weiner" is being too nice in my opinion.
