House and the Senate
Both the House and the Senate passed Barack Obama's economic stimulus package on Friday, and despite the fact that he didn't get the bi-partisan support he wanted - the President is calling the bill "a major milestone on our road to recovery.'' Obama also said that he will continue to reach out to Republicans despite the fact that he couldn't get them to sign on to his economic deal. Some GOP reps said they didn't feel like the stimulus money was allocated properly and others said they simply just didn't have time to read the bill before the vote.
