In Win For Obama, House Kills Jet Fighter Engine

In a notable reversal from last year, the House has voted to kill an expensive alternative jet fighter engine. It's a win for President Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and a loss for the House speaker and others, whose districts would lose jobs. Half of Republicans who have been calling for deep spending cuts voted to retain the engine.

Not to worry right away, though — while the vote shows where the House is headed, the funding bill that it's attached to is ultimately going nowhere.
