CONGRESS PASSES OBAMA'S ECONOMIC PACKAGE

The US House of Representatives today passed Barack Obama's $825 Billion economic stimulus plan by a margin of 244 to 188. Not a single Republican voted for the bill, claiming it was too expensive and would not work. The Bill must now pass through the Senate where the Democrats hold a much slimmer majority. I applaud Barack for taking immediate action to turn the United States alone. I hope that the Audacity of Hope extends beyond party lines, and the Republicans don't let party interests prevent the Government from taking action to turn this economy around.
