Senate Allies Fault Obama on Stimulus

By PETER BAKER and DAVID M. HERSZENHORN
Published: January 8, 2009
WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama’s economic recovery plan ran into cross-fire from his own party in Congress on Thursday, suggesting that quick passage of spending programs and tax cuts could require more time and negotiation than Demorats once hoped.



Senate Demorats complained that major components of his plan were not bold enough and urged more focus on creating jobs and rebuilding the nation’s energy infrastructure rather than cutting taxes.

Just hours earlier, Mr. Obama called for speedy passage of the stimulus measure, warning that the recession “could linger for years” if Congress did not pass his plan within weeks.

Further complicating the picture, Demoratic senators said Thursday that they would try to attach legislation to the package that would allow bankruptcy courts to modify home loans, a move Republicans have opposed.
