Obama Wins the Senate

The News wires are reporting that the US Senate has closed Debate on the Obama Economic Plan. This means that there are two steps to go before it becomes law, the House and Senate Bills have to be combined and passed again by both Chambers then it will go to the Oval for the signature of President Obama. The only problem could be with the Liberal Democrats in the House, they could try to put all the pork back in to the Bill, this could cause the moderate Republicans in the Senate to reject the Bill when it comes back to the Senate, thus the West Wing will have to keep an eagle eye on the House Leadership. The President can not afford for the House Leadership to defeat him on this Bill. On the whole it can be expected that the Obama White House will make sure the Bill gets through and keeps the Republican support. Thus a major Congressional victory for President Obama, up there with those of FDR, LBJ and Reagan. The downside is that its now the Obama Economy, the lack of Republican support means that his re - election is down to getting the economy going and making those millions of jobs for the American voter. But this is a night to congratulate the Obama White House, good job.
