Yes, congressional Democrats prevented Obama from pursuing it. Another question might be, WHY was Obama’s White House interested?

Because he was generally a center-right Democrat trying to govern from the middle, despite the racist cries of Muslim socialism coming from the right? Because he doesn't really care about poor people? Because despite the real-world outcomes, he thought it was technocratically valuable, if immediately harmful?

So many plausible reasons, deckeda. So many.
