Washington (CNN) -- Already coming under fire for his lobbyist past as he ramps up for a 2012 presidential bid, Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is denying that he once urged Congress and the Bush administration to pass legislation providing a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.

Washington (CNN) -- The U.S. House of Representatives voted Monday to extend three provisions of the Patriot Act and Intelligence Reform bill that are due to expire next month.
The bill passed by a simple majority vote of 275-144. The same measure failed last week by a vote of 277-148, which fell short of the 284 needed to pass then because it was considered under a House rule that required a two-thirds majority. The bill extends the provisions through December 8.

Washington (CNN) -- House Majority Leader Eric Cantor criticized President Obama for failing to address entitlement reform in his budget that was delivered to Capitol Hill Monday, and pledged that the House Republican budget coming out this spring would wade into the controversial area.
Cantor promised the GOP budget blueprint would be "a serious document that will reflect the type of path we feel we should be taking to address the fiscal situation - including addressing entitlement reforms." Read more of this post

(CNN) -- Real estate mogul Donald Trump continued to stoke the fire Monday, responding to Rep. Ron Paul's criticism of the billionaire as someone who has never run for office.
During a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference Thursday, Trump said the Texas Republican was an "unelectable" candidate for president. In an interview on CNN's "American Morning" Monday, Paul countered that he has won 11 elections. Read more of this post
(CNN) -- President Obama's spending plan is just the first step in a process that will involve no less than 40 congressional committees, 24 subcommittees, countless hearings and a number of floor votes in the House and Senate, with the aim of getting funding in place for the federal government by the beginning of the 2012 fiscal year October 1.
Congress never passed a budget for the current fiscal year, and the government has been running on a "continuing resolution," which expires March 4. House Republicans have thrown down the gauntlet over cuts to current programs and threaten to shut down the government if they don't get their way.
NEW YORK (CNN Money) -- The funding grants nobody wants. The "mobile" policing unit that doesn't get around much. How about the big fancy telescope that has been mismanaged?
President Obama's 2012 proposal lists more than 200 programs that he wants to cancel or cut, for billions in savings.
Washington (CNN) -- Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour is slated to make his first appearance in Iowa as an all-but-certain candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
The Iowa Republican Party announced Monday that Barbour will keynote the first in a series of fundraising dinners designed to strengthen county party organizations across the state. Iowa GOP Chairman Matt Strawn said that other "national political leaders" will appear at future dinners. Read more of this post
Washington (CNN) -- A new poll indicates that a majority of New York State voters say they'd vote to re-elect Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand next year.
Capitol Hill (CNN) – Washington is celebrating this Valentine’s Day by launching what may be the bloodiest, most eyeball-scratching and character-demeaning battle of the next year: the fight over spending.
So on this tricky holiday, we at American Sauce look at (and question) love and hate at the Capitol. Things may not be quite as partisan as you think. And, we pull off a semi-historical event: American Sauce brings together the modern-day kin of Charles Sumner and Preston Brooks. Who? If you don’t know, it’s quite a story.

Washington (CNN) -- First lady Michelle Obama is often praised for her taut arms and athletic physique. So why is a cartoon depicting her with fat cheeks, a double-chin and chowing down a platter full of hamburgers?
(CNN) -- A former Department of Agriculture employee who was forced to resign last year after the posting of a misleading video has filed suit against Andrew Breitbart, the conservative blogger who posted it.
Shirley Sherrod's suit was filed in District of Columbia Superior Court on Friday, her attorney confirmed. The civil suit accuses Breitbart of "defamation, false light and infliction of emotional distress," according to a statement issued by the law firm representing her.
(CNN) -- The Mississippi NAACP has called on Gov. Haley Barbour to publicly denounce an attempt by a Confederacy group to honor a Ku Klux Klan leader, the organization said Monday.
The Sons of Confederate Veterans has launched the campaign to recognize Confederate Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest on a specialty license plate.
Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour made the case Sunday on Fox News that his career as a high-powered federal lobbyist for domestic corporations and foreign governments would be an asset if he ran for President in 2012.
Barbour may be eager to showcase his record, but one of Barbour's foreign lobbying clients could cause him some troubles in the 2012 Republican primary, if he decides to run. According to a State Department filing by Barbour's former lobbying firm, The Embassy of Mexico decided to retain Barbour's services on August 15, 2001, to work on, among other things, legislation that would provide a path to citizenship for foreigners living illegally in the United States—what opponents of immigration reform call “amnesty.”
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Neil Barofsky, the Special Inspector General of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, informed President Obama on Monday that he is resigning from his position, effective March 30.
"I believe that it is the right time for me to step down and pursue other opportunities," Barofsky wrote in his resignation letter.
Washington (CNN) -- As hoards of economists, activists and interns begin the arduous task of combing through the newly released 2012 Federal Budget, a caution: the tome (including its 1,360 page appendix) is 2,403 pages long.
This is the equivalent of a double dose of Margaret Mitchell's "Gone with the Wind," and far surpasses Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" (1,079 pages), Tolstoy's "War and Peace" (1,296 pages) and even the 3rd edition of Merriam Webster's New College Dictionary (1,536 pages).
Most editions of the Bible pale in comparison, many of which have less than 1,000 pages, according to a search on Amazon.com.

Washington (CNN) -- Rep. Ron Paul is taking a dig at Donald Trump, days after the business mogul told thousands of attendees at the Conservative Political Action Conference that the crowd-favorite Paul "cannot get elected."
"I've won eleven times, so I don't know whether he has earned the right to criticize somebody for not winning an election when I don't know how many elections he's won so far himself," Paul said Monday on CNN's American Morning. Read more of this post

Washington (CNN) -- Americans now overwhelmingly believe China is the leading economy in the world, according to a new poll, a significant change from two years ago when Americans viewed the U.S. economy and that of China on roughly equal ground.
A Gallup poll released Monday indicates that 52 percent of Americans now name China as the leading world economic power, compared to 32 percent who say the United States is tops when it comes to the economy. When the same questioned was asked in 2009, 39 percent said China while 37 percent named the United States. Read more of this post
Washington (CNN) -- Some Republicans continue to hope Jeb Bush will get off the sidelines this presidential election, but a new poll out Monday indicates that President Obama would soundly defeat the former Florida governor.
According to the new survey from Fox News, Obama outpaces Bush by a 54-34 percent margin in a hypothetical head-to-head matchup. That's a significant uptick for the president from a September poll that indicated that Obama would only beat the younger brother of former President George W. Bush by a spread of eight points.

Washington (CNN) -- Republican Rep. Jeff Flake of Arizona will announce later Monday that he'll make a bid for the seat of retiring Sen. Jon Kyl, a GOP source confirms to CNN.
The three-term Kyl, the second ranking Republican in the Senate, announced Thursday that he would not run for a fourth term next year. Read more of this post
Washington (CNN) -- The Democratic National Committee is out with a new web video Monday that takes aim at several of the positions advocated last week at the Conservative Political Action Conference, the high-profile gathering that serves as an early proving ground for GOP presidential hopefuls.
The 90-second video called " Past Versus Future" highlights positions as abolishing the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency, repealing the health care law, and allowing people to opt out of social security. It then transitions to Democrats - including President Obama - advocating for innovation, education initiatives and job creation.

CNNMoney: Obama budget to cut $1.1 trillion in deficitsPresident Obama on Monday will propose a 2012 federal budget that the White House says will cut deficits by $1.1 trillion over 10 years. The president's request calls for a mix of strategic spending to boost U.S. competitiveness and selective belt-tightening intended as a "down payment" on serious deficit reduction, according to his budget director Jacob Lew, who spoke on CNN's "State of the Union." Full details on the budget will be released on Monday morning. So it's not clear yet where all of the estimated $1.1 trillion in deficit reduction will come from, or exactly how significant a swipe it makes at long-term deficit reduction.
CNNMoney: Obama's budget to target education Pell grantsPresident Obama's budget Monday will propose cutting $100 billion dollars from the Pell grant program and other higher education programs, but use those savings to ensure that eligible students would be able to receive the current maximum award of $5,500 per school year. Jacob Lew, director of the Office of Management and Budget, said Sunday on State of the Union with Candy Crowley that the changes would affect two areas of the Pell grant program. The proposal calls for the end to the policy where students could qualify for two grants in one year -- one for the regular academic year and a second for summer school. Only one Pell grant per year would be awarded.
