Yesterday we learned something new (well, it wasn't new, but the braggadocio was) - WE DON'T NEED YOU, WE DON'T NEED TO COMPROMISE, WE HAVE THE VOTES ... so Get Over It, We Won.
Let's take a moment ....

Mr. Schumer - Never count your chickens before they hatch.
Mr. Reid - Your arrogance is deafening, and also shows your greatest weakness.
No one likes someone who dictates. Apparently, SOME DEMOCRATS don't either!

I almost feel sorry for Mr. Obama, almost. THIS IS yet another failure for Obama.

Senate stalls vote on stimulus package
Lawmakers decide more time needed to work on cutting back $100 billion
Washington— A bipartisan coalition of senators withheld support Thursday for President Obama’s economic recovery package, leaving the scope and timing of his first major initiative in doubt as they sought to cut more than $100 billion from the legislation.
Despite growing concerns from Republicans and Democrats about the cost of the plan, senators did not reach agreement on which programs to trim. Instead, as the chamber has debated the bill this week, its cost has grown by almost $40 billion, with the tab now at more than $920 billion.
Senate leaders had hoped to vote on the measure Thursday, but after a series of meetings among nearly 20 senators did not yield a deal, the negotiators agreed to continue talking.
Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said that he would allow the centrist, bipartisan group to continue working and that, if it reaches consensus, he will schedule a vote for today on final legislation. If that fails, he will call for a rare Sunday session for a key procedural vote that would require 60 votes for passage.
