The hard fought spending bill brokered by President Obama with House Republicans passed the lower chamber today, 260-167. It now heads to the senate where it's expected to sail easily to passage.
108 Dems voted against the measure joining 59 Republicans in opposition. Republican Speaker Boehner needed 39 Democratic votes to pass the bill. Many House Republicans defected citing the cuts do not go far enough and pledged more would be on the way.
*Update:
No shutdown at least through September. Senate passes spending bill sending it to the president for signature. The senate vote 81-19 in favor.
