Boehner: House Opposes Senate's Payroll Tax Cut Bill
The Senate’s two-month payroll tax extension is dead on arrival in the House.

In his first appearance on a Sunday show in almost two years, Mitt Romney spent much of his time defending his policy prescriptions and his work in the private sector, including a photo of him and his colleagues adorned with money.
GOP presidential candidate Jon Huntsman defended his campaign’s seeming lack of traction with conservative voters Sunday morning while taking jabs at frontrunners Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich.
