Just heard that it's been rejected. So here's how it goes......

- The president and his economic aides "we really need to do this or the country is screwed".

- Some woman makes a speech before the vote about how important it is but also mentions "we'll have a new president soon and America's direction will change anyway"

- The republicans, that's THE REPUBLICANS all take umbrage at this and say "we don't like this snotty bitch's tone - we're going to reject the bill!"

Seriously, WTF????
