Republican Weekly Address

George Wenschhof

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) says House will pass a Republican proposal to extend the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits and it will include a provision to speed up approval of the Keystone XL oil pipeline project.

This, in spite of a suggested White House veto. Boehner is seizing on the controversial oil pipeline project, saying it will create jobs and is what is needed at this time. President Obama, under pressure by environmentalists, had announced recently, further study would take place and a decision would not be made until after 2012.
