GOP leaders: Keep pipeline in payroll tax bill ? USATODAY.com

"Obama and the Democrats had wanted to pay for a reduction in the so-called payroll tax by imposing a 1.9% surtax on incomes of the richest Americans, those taking home more than $1 million a year. They apparently have dropped that demand and will find the money to finance continued cuts through higher fees charged by the public-private organizations that guarantees home mortgages."

Washington (CNN) -- The Senate on Saturday voted to extend the payroll tax cut by two months, after both sides were unable to reach a comprehensive agreement to extend the payroll tax cut and unemployment benefits for a full year.

The deal, passed in a 89-10 vote, includes a provision to speed up a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, giving the Obama administration 60 days to make a call on the project.

Jim Jones bucks Obama on Keystone XL pipeline
By Josh Rogin Friday, December 16, 2011 -

Former National Security Advisor Jim Jones called today for quick action on the Keystone XL pipeline construction, directly opposing the White House he worked for only a few months ago.

Jones, who rarely speaks in public and almost never contradicts his former boss President Barack Obama, lashed out against the administration in a press call and warned of grave consequences to U.S. national security if the project to build the pipeline doesn't move forward immediately.
