Drudge has a link saying there are not enough votes. Is this the same bill?
It's getting hard to keep track these days :(

According to this article it passed by 3 votes and I bet it has RINOs written on it.

They have no awareness of any limitations of the money supply!
But what the hell, we are already broke beyond belief so who cares how much we spend anymore!
I would hope there will be somebody left to clean up the mess after the party is all over!

Obama's Top Ten Steps to curb Congress's Pet Projects
10. Republicans need not bother to even ask for any.
9. Make sure all of the year's spending bills are signed before announcing any such ideas.
8. Define the Department of Defense to be a "Pet Project".
7. No more bridges to nowhere. ALL bridges built must connect a small business owner to his place of business (per directive of VP Biden).
6. Each of the first daughters is limited to one pet.
5. No more gifts of any kind to visiting heads of state... even DVDs
4. The Department of Homeland Security is official declared to be a "Pet Project" and will be eliminated.
3. Arbor Day is renamed to ACORN Day, and will be a Federal Holiday. Oops... wait: that is a pet project. But it's Obama's, so it doesn't count.
2. Accountants are declared to be Pet Projects. Democrats will be exempted from taxation to reduce the nation's burden on accountants.
and finally....
1. Each Democrat lawmaker has a real, enforceable spending limit of $1 Trillion per term.

Once Obama signs this he just signed his lying, hypocrite certificate.
He promised to end earmarks and road to 1600 Pennsylvania on that promise but all he has left is the old “blame Bush” since he has no integrity.

I’m astounded that Evan Bayh my senator voted no.
I suppose the cynical view is that there were enough RINOs to let him take cover and posture for reelection in Indiana.

Spector and Snowe at it again.
Spector must know he is on his death bed and his family has been promised something big.
