Senate should act, saying, "It's one thing for two members to come
to some agreement. It doesn't substitute the will for the other 98
members."In a written statement, Obama said he'd prefer stronger language
than the compromise, but he said it represented progress."It recognizes
that there are good people on both sides of this issue, and
we don't have to agree on everything to know that we've got
