Could be. I think the comment you made, ".....many of them are at the end of their careers and some do not even know it yet.", is telling. Because a lot of those "many" actually think people love them for their obstruction.

People just want to go back to work and have had enough of the childish games. A friend of mine, who has been laid off twice now since the crash of '08, told me a couple days ago that he just wishes "somebody" would do something other than "...waste more time just trying to get the president."

A sentiment I'm hearing more and more frequently, these days.
