Well that was a surprise

The stimulus plan got exactly zero Republican votes in the House. In order to get those votes, Obama and the Democrats added useless tax cuts, and subtracted family planning funding, etc.

Now, if Obama expected this, and has some long term strategy to capitalize on it, fine. But if he really thought he could get these people to act responsibly, then we are in serious trouble.

Meantime, Ms. Pelosi should take immediate steps to make sure that the 11 Democrats who voted “No” are given to understand that their votes are no longer needed for the Democrats to keep majority status, and that there will be consequences to them if they fail to toe the line.
