The Senate is going to vote today to extend unemployment benefits. With new West Virginia Senator Carte Goodwin being sworn in Democrats now have 60 votes to break a (mostly) Republican filibuster. However, the vote is also coming after President Obama decided to actually press the Senate to act and called out Republicans for blocking the extension.

As I've said before, even if more cannot be done regarding stimulus and aide to the unemployed due to the suckiness of the Senate, the President should at least let it be known what he wants done and where he stands.
