Is it hypocrisy or just common business sense

Yesterday, Barack Obama suffered a unique political blow, when the US Congress overturned his veto of a bill that would allow families of the victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks to sue Saudi Arabia.
Yet, a week or so earlier, Senators approved a $1.15 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia. I assume they just focused on the positive impact it would have on American jobs, U.S. companies, and the wider defense industry.
So, my question - Hypocrisy or just common business sense ?
