Boehner Pushes for Obama to Reverse Keystone Pipeline Decision 
---------------------------------------------------------------



In energy news, House Speaker John Boehner threatened Sunday to block an
extension of the payroll tax cut unless President Obama reverses his
decision and approves the Keystone XL tar sands oil pipeline. Boehner
made the comment on Fox News Sunday.

Rep. John Boehner: "The Keystone pipeline is the prime example of a
shovel-ready project that's been through every approval process here in
Washington. Every option is on the table. We're going to do everything
we can to try to make sure that this Keystone pipeline project is in
fact approved."
