He is expected to sign the bill next week.
What is funny, or even galling, is some Republicans who voted against the stimulus to help their dismal chances in 2010 and 2012 are now touting it!!!!
Rep. John Mica was gushing after the House of Representatives voted Friday to pass the big stimulus plan.
"I applaud President Obama's recognition that high-speed rail should be part of America's future," the Florida Republican beamed in a press release.
Yet Mica had just joined every other GOP House member in voting against the $787.2 billion economic recovery plan.
As Arlen Specter, one of the three GOP senators to have voted for the stimulus, noted, Republicans supported the stimulus, but they just didn't want to have their "fingerprints" on it.
It's all about 2010 and 2012, as I said above.
