Democrats muscle huge stimulus through Congress


WASHINGTON – In a major victory for President Barack Obama, Democrats muscled a huge, $787 billion stimulus bill through Congress late Friday night in hopes of combating the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Republican opposition was nearly unanimous.

After lobbying energetically for the bill, Obama is expected to sign it within a few days, less than a month after taking office.


In the House, all 246 votes in favor were cast by Democrats. Seven Democrats joined 176 Republicans in opposition.

Im happy with my vote for President.
Now to get rid of some more Republicans.

Im going to rally people in an attempt to elect more third party candidates.

Don't worry, we are going to take care of Arlen Specter in the 2010 primary.
