As expected, the House of Representatives passed the Democrat-written budget resolution, on a 233-196 roll call vote. No House Republicans, who introduced two separate alternative budget resolutions, voted for the bill.

Democratic National Committee Chairman Tim Kaine chalked up Republican opposition as simply politics as usual.

"Unfortunately, the unanimous vote by the House Republicans against the budget does not represent the principle of loyal opposition upon which this country was founded, but opposition purely for political gain," Kaine said. "Today's vote affirms that the Party of No is more interested in playing politics than working with the Democrats and the President to solve our nation's problems on a bipartisan basis."

Twenty Democrats voted against the bill -- mostly Members from moderate districts, with one exception being Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio), who opposes including military funding with the operational funding of the government.

"This budget is a plan that authorizes the expansion of the war. I simply cannot endorse a budget or a plan that" does that, Kucinich said.

The National Republican Congressional Committee quickly jumped on targeted Democrats that voted for the resolution. "Larry Kissell and his fellow Democrats have thrown their promise of accountability and transparency out the window with this reckless budget," said NRCC spokesman Ken Spain.

The White House applauded the bill's passage, and President Obama, who is currently overseas, released a statement in approval of the bill's priorities.

"Tonight, the House of Representatives took another step toward rebuilding our struggling economy," Obama said. "This budget resolution embraces our most fundamental priorities: an energy plan that will end our dependence on foreign oil and spur a new clean energy economy; an education system that will ensure our children will be able to compete in the economy of the 21st century; and health care reform that finally confronts the back-breaking costs plaguing families, businesses and government alike."
