Obama's Jobs Bill Fails To Advance In Senate Despite White House Push | Fox News

The bill received 50 votes falling short of the necessary 60 to end debate. Sens. Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Jon Tester of Montana were the only Democrats to vote against the bill. Both of them are facing tough re-election campaigns next year.
Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va., had said earlier that although he intended to vote in favor of ending the Republican filibuster, he did not intend to support the bill if it reached a final vote.

Why are they having a hard time with supporting this? Outside the obvious political angle. If its a good bill, why not be on record as a "yes".

The bill failed the senate 50-49 so Webb must have not voted.

Instead of 'jobs bill' this should be titled 'let's let Obama squander another half trillion dollars by piling up more debt that we can't ever pay.'

I'm surprised that Obama got even 49 votes since 23 democrats are up for reelection and most voters are fed up with Obama's habit of wasting money on more boondoggles.
