President Obama had a "super majority" just like FDR, for (at least) his first hundred days in office.
When was President Obama ever filibustered? "24/7 filibusters???" bullshit, he may have been threatened with one filibuster.

From Wikipedia:

Starting in his "first hundred days" in office, which began March 4, 1933, Roosevelt launched major legislation and a profusion of executive orders that gave form to the New Deal—a complex, interlocking set of programs designed to produce relief (especially government jobs for the unemployed), recovery (of the economy), and reform (through regulation of Wall Street, banks and transportation). The economy improved rapidly from 1933 to 1937, but then went into a deep recession. The bipartisan Conservative Coalition that formed in 1937 prevented his packing the Supreme Court or passing much new legislation; it abolished many of the relief programs when unemployment practically ended during World War II. Most of the regulations on business were ended about 1975–85, except for the regulation of Wall Street by the Securities and Exchange Commission, which still exists. Along with several smaller programs, major surviving programs include the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which was created in 1933, and Social Security, which Congress passed in 1935.

If there is not a viable alternative,and there needs to be, I will "hold my nose" and vote to re-elect President Obama.

In 2008, I worked my ass off to help get him elected.

on edit:

President Obama lost the house because of apathy from the majority of voters. He caved on most of what the American people wanted before it was even "negotiated."
