The US Senate reports on the final vote for the Obama Economic Plan. In the end it got through with three moderate Republican votes, 60 -38. It can be argued that President Obama has failed to change the working environment in D.C. It will be interesting to see how the President deals with other difficult issues, like Health Care. Also the President might need Republicans when it comes to National Security Issues like, Iraq, Afghanistan and Terror. Also if the Economic Plan does not work, the fault will be down to the Obama Administration, out of over five hundred members of Congress, Obama could get only three Republican votes, he does not have the charm of Reagan, the political skills of Bill Clinton, the Republicans do not fear Obama as Democrats feared Reagan. The President could have a tough four years on the Hill.
