Obama vows "forceful, bipartisan response" to campaign finance decision

From the link - Obama's actual words -

"We’ve been making steady progress. But this week, the United States Supreme Court handed a huge victory to the special interests and their lobbyists – and a powerful blow to our efforts to rein in corporate influence. This ruling strikes at our democracy itself. By a 5-4 vote, the Court overturned more than a century of law – including a bipartisan campaign finance law written by Senators John McCain and Russ Feingold that had barred corporations from using their financial clout to directly interfere with elections by running advertisements for or against candidates in the crucial closing weeks.

When this ruling came down, I instructed my administration to get to work immediately with Members of Congress willing to fight for the American people to develop a forceful, bipartisan response to this decision. We have begun that work, and it will be a priority for us until we repair the damage that has been done."

Here's what I find really interesting about his remarks - those comments I bolded - doesn't he make it sound like there's a limited number of members of Congress "willing to fight for the American people?

My only other comment is that I wish he would just eliminate the word "bi-partisan" from his vocabulary. We have already proven there is no such beast. The concept of bi-partisanship is like having an imaginary friend - You are only pretending they are there and you do all the talking.
