"The rescue plan, a result of tense talks between the government and lawmakers, was rejected by 228 to 205 votes in the House of Representatives.
About two-thirds of Republican lawmakers refused to back the rescue package, as well as 95 Democrats."
I am confused as there is a Democratic party majority in the House of Representatives, the last election saw 233 Democrats elected but only 202 Republicans. So is any blame attributed to the 95 Democrats who voted against the motion? No, just the Republicans - it is the BBC after all.
