Obama urges Senate to approve small business bill

 

President Obama cast his latest economic pitch yesterday as a matter of patriotism, urging the Senate to ditch its partisan mode at least long enough to pass a package of tax cuts and loan relief for small businesses.
In Washington, Senate majority leader Harry Reid had hoped to schedule a Senate vote on the small-business bill, but Republican leaders said they wanted the opportunity to offer amendments to the measure. Leaders of both parties said they were unable to reach an agreement before the Senate adjourned for the day.
