Whats Really going on? In WASHINGTON this past Tuesday the Senate rejected President Barack Obama's $447 billion jobs bill, a move that was expected and clears the way for the White House to refocus on pressuring Congress to pass smaller pieces of the package.
The Senate voted 51 to 48 on a procedural motion to begin debate on the bill. Despite falling short of the required 60 votes, Senate Democratic leaders were at least able to save Obama face by securing a simple majority of Democratic support.
