President Obama said reporters praise his economic proposals as great and tell him they are all good ideas.
Obama made the remarks in a speech Wednesday in Galesburg, Ill., focused on the economy.
The address didnt include any new proposals on the economy, and Republicans criticized Obama for giving an address that was more of the same.
But Obama said the news media often praises his ideas.
"Its interesting, in the run-up to this speech, a lot of reporters say that, well, Mr. President, these are all good ideas, but some of youve said before; some of them sound great, but you can't get those through Congress. Republicans wont agree with you," Obama said.
Obama argued some Republicans privately agree with a lot of his ideas.
I know because theyve said so. But they worry theyll face swift political retaliation for cooperating with me, he said.
