Senate Falls Short of Votes to Take Up Obama's Big Jobs Bill
William Douglas, McClatchy Newspapers: "The Democrat-led Senate
effectively killed President Barack Obama's $447 billion jobs plan
Tuesday as the White House and Democratic lawmakers talked of breaking
the president's plan into pieces to try to push it through Congress.
Senators voted 50-49 on a procedural move to take up Obama's plan, but
60 votes were required under Senate rules for lawmakers to proceed on
the measure."
