The Democrats saying that it had the support of both parties' leadership in the House and the Republicans needed to deliver their caucus was apparently untrue. Minority Leader John Boehner, Republican Whip Roy Blunt, Republican Conference Chair Adam Putnam, Republican Policy Committee Chair Thaddeus McCotter and Financial Services Ranking Member Spencer Bachus all voted "No" on the bill. Just wishing that the bill had bipartisan support from the House leadership doesn't make it so.
