Obama's First Victory

BBC News: Reports the United States House of Representatives has passed the Obama Economic Plan. In pure political terms this is a good victory for the President, the Bill now has to go to the US Senate. I noticed when watching the Live Feed from D.C that no Republican voted for Bill and double figures of Democrats also voted against the Bill, they must be from Conservative areas. If Obama cant get any Republicans in the Senate or at least more than a few then if this plan fails its all down to him. But this is a victory, Obama has shown that he can manage the Democrats on Hill. As the years go by this will be less easy, if the US Economy is in the toilet next year then Obama will have tough Mid Terms, Reagan had losses in 1982. But he did win big in 1984.
