| WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama wants business leaders to
push Congress to pass long-stalled climate legislation.

Obama said that individual members of Congress may be worried about the short-term implications of voting for the bill and that hearing from businesses would be reassuring. Energy legislation narrowly passed the House last year and some Democrats came to regret their support. It's up next in the Senate, after financial reform, Obama said.
