The vote was 345-75. Two Democrats voted present. Six Republicans and five Democrats did not vote.

I wonder if the community organizer in chief will sign or veto it.

Here is the list of Yeas, Nays, Present, and Not voting. For some reason I can't find Pelosi's name on roster.

Watch Obama vote present when it comes to signing the bill

If he does sign it, I bet he don't fly Air Force One halfway across the country to make a big showing..

But he should. I think he should sign it in Chicago.

Nope, he will just vote present and let it become law on it's own. This way he can play both sides of the issue by declaring he was neither for or against and/or he was out of the country when it hit his desk. The best of all worlds for him.

Man I hope he tries to get away with that. Maybe he can appoint a bill signing czar.
