Outsourcing Legislation from WH to the House of Representatives

Cantor criticized Obama for last year's "outsourcing of the legislative 
activity from the White House to Nancy Pelosi here in this House," which he 
said has resulted in "a bill shift and an agenda shift way to the left and 
outside the mainstream of this country."

To me, this seems like a fairly gross exploitation of people's ignorance of our 
system of divided government, and an indictment of partisan gerrymandering 
which makes this kind of statement politically resonant.
