WASHINGTON -- In a swift victory for President Barack Obama, the Democratic-controlled House approved a historically huge $819 billion stimulus bill Wednesday night with spending increases and tax cuts at the heart of the young administration's plan to revive a badly ailing economy. The vote was 244-188, with Republicans unanimous in opposition despite Obama's pleas for bipartisan support.
On the final vote, the legislation drew the support of all but 11 Democrats while all Republicans opposed it.
