“Won’t the house have to approve this?”
Boehner will vote for it, along with the rest of the Republican “leadership”, and he’ll have how ever many more he needs walk the plank for him, yet again, to pass it. I think if enough House Dems are on board, it’s probably a done deal, unfortunately. (If it’s as disappointing a plan as it appears (IMHO), the only hope may be that enough Dems and Conservatives in the House vote no).
Bonehead has already turned 47 out of the 57 Freshmen class on the first vote. How hard do u think it will be to turn them again? The answer, a lot easier than the first.
If Obama and the Dem Senate support the bill, then the Democrats in the House will vote for it en masse. Which means that 25 frightened liberal Republicans would put it over the top.
