The House finally passed the $819 billion economic stimulus package on Wednesday – this has been hailed as President Obama’s first legislative victory. However, the GOP stuck to its stand, they did not back the bill! They were supported by eleven Democrats as well.

Anyone would be upset by the whole thing, but President Obama did not show what he felt about the large veto. In fact, he invited the leaders of both the parties to White House for cocktails. Our President has by doing this, shown a big heart. He is extending a hand even to those who are opposing him.

There is a lot more to be done for sure in the next four years. President Obama, you had better brace yourself, to face it all. It is not going to be exactly a cakewalk – this Presidentship.
