Senate Democrats will vote on his $447 billion proposal for tax cuts and spending on Tuesday, after replacing Obama's suggestion of how to cover its cost with their own millionaire tax surcharge. However, the Senate is not expected to get enough votes to pave the way for the bill's passage.

If it does fail to win the 60 votes needed to avoid Republican delaying tactics in the Senate, congressional Democrats will likely look at other ways to advance bits of Obama's initiative, either through promoting individual bills or by attaching measures into other legislation.

Uh, delaying tactics?    The Senate GOP wants a straight up vote on this yesterday.

Reading 3 or 4 of Alister M. Bull's articles in Reuters reveals a discernible bias toward Barry and his ilk.

Not surprising that he should use such language.

So much for Reuters' "journalism".

Of course they want a straight-up vote with all the little bells and whistles in the bill.  All the more ammo against the Dems.

They can pass Porkulus, and Son of Porkulus, but they can't pass a budget in over two years?  Bitch, please.

I wouldn't be surprised if White House uses EO or something to enforce this jobs bill.

I still can't believe that certain leftwing media outlets are still willing to flat out lie despite the presence of the internet which quickly exposes their lies. Any idiot can google up quite clearly that its not the Republicans holding up the bill at all, its the Dems. It takes a whole lot of corruption to knowingly publish lies like that.
