This seems to summarize the Obama Regime pretty well:

"This should not be a partisan issue," Obama said, urging bipartisan answers on a day largely devoted to raising campaign money for fellow Democrats. "The closer we get, the harder the opposition will fight."

Earlier in the story, there are some other priceless and almost cliche Obamantics:
President Barack Obama said Friday that opponents of his energy bill are disputing the evidence of global warming in a cynical ploy to undermine efforts to curb pollution and steer the nation to greener energy sources. Obama said some opponents "make cynical claims that contradict the overwhelming scientific evidence when it comes to climate change — claims whose only purpose is to defeat or delay the change that we know is necessary."
Firstly there are those vague nay-saying "opponents" ... he loves to use straw-men and nameless critics who he can then attack ... even if they don't actually exist. This time he's even more transparent than normal. Let's have the look at his straw-man position: opponents love pollution and hate things that are good for the environment. They oppose him because they are cynical, and they want to oppose necessary change. Oh, and don't forget the "scientific evidence" ... that is overwhelming despite the fact there hasn't been any global warming for a decade. Yes, I can feel the urge to go out and hug a chimney on a coal fired power plant, I want to swim in polluted waters, I want to dance in noxious gas clouds ... I love pollution because I'm cynical. I get off on opposing necessary changes. What other reason could I have for opposing the Dear Leader?
