Does he really believe this: "If you were looking for a bunch of partisan rhetoric, I'm probably not your guy."

RCP has a video of this quote by Obama: "If you were looking for a bunch of partisan rhetoric, I'm probably not your guy."

Is this the same president who in May inaccurately attacked Republicans and belittled them over immigration reform this way:

So, we have gone above and beyond what was requested by the very Republicans who said they supported broader reform as long as we got serious about enforcement. But even though we've answered these concerns, I suspect there will be those who will try to move the goal posts one more time. They'll say we need to triple the border patrol. Or quadruple the border patrol. They'll say we need a higher fence to support reform.

Maybe they'll say we need a moat. Or alligators in the moat.

They'll never be satisfied. And I understand that. That's politics. . . .

Discussions about Obama bringing civility into politics can be found here and here.

Obama faces the widest partisan job approval gap in modern polling history. Yet, this could be either because he is particularly partisan or that Republican voters just aren't giving him a chance.
