'Funny guy': 'Pen and phone' president to lecture about importance of bipartisanship

President Obama is visiting Illinois today, and he is expected to instruct that state’s politicians to “do as I say, not as I do”:

Pres Obama will use a speech today to the Illinois General Assembly to call for more cross-party cooperation for more effective government.

Those who have observed President Obama over the years had a hearty laugh:

@markknoller That's rich. Has he practiced that at all with Congress?

@markknoller Obama, who has excoriated political opponents at every opportunity? "That" Obama?
