John Boehner was asked if he's confident he'll be back as Speaker of the House if Republicans can keep control of the House in November on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopolous. "I am," he said. He said he doesn't believe Republicans will lose control of house. "As a matter of fact, I think most of our members are doing very well. But again, you never know what's gonna happen over the next six months. My job is to make sure our team is prepared." When asked about the scraped plan by a super PAC to attack Obama over his connection to Jeremiah Wright, Boehner said, "this kind of nonsense shouldn't happen... The election's gonna be about the economy and getting Americans back to work. And I think Governor [Mitt] Romney's prescriptions are much better."

Boehner was also asked about the JPMorgan trading loss and if any regulation would have prevented what happened. "There's no law against stupidity. No law against stupid trades," he said. "And as long as the positives, money wasn't at risk, and as long as there's no risk of a taxpayer bailout-- they should be held accountable by the market and their shareholders. And they are." Boehner said he doesn't believe any part of Dodd-Frank would have prevented the loss, and said he still supports repealing, or at least altering, the Dodd-Frank law. "There are big problems for this law, and it needs - it needs some big changes," he said.

Karl Rove also went on a rant on Fox News Sunday and said that attacking Romney over his history at Bain Capital won't work. "The problem is this is Romney’s strength," Rove said. "We saw that in how the Obama campaign went after him: they put a grand total of $83,000 behind their attack ad, and everybody in the media lapped it up. But let’s look at the facts: Romney invested $180 million in the company, the company made money for a while and eight years later after a flood of cheap-end steel came into the United States – principally from China – it and a number of other steel companies went under – over two years after he left Bain Capital. Over time, I think, this is going to be okay for Romney, as long as he engages in it... And they did. They went straight back at ‘em and said wait a minute. Here’s the details about GST Technologies. And oh incidentally let’s give you another example to look at, which is we invested in another steel company that went from a couple hundred employees to 6,000 employees and is a going concern today."

David Axelrod appeared on CNN's State of the Union and criticized Mitt Romney's apology for the planned Jeremiah Wright attack ad. Host Candy Crowley asked Axelrod if he thought the candidate's religions should be off limits in the coming election, to which he responded, "Absolutely, and we have right along. we have said that’s not fair game... And we wish Governor Romney would stand up as resolutely and consistently, to refute these kinds of things on his side." He said that Romney only repudiated the attack ad "tepidly and reluctantly."
