Previewing The Sunday Shows
Pres. Obama's tax cut deal with Republican lawmakers will be in the spotlight this weekend. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was to appear on all three broadcast network Sunday shows but canceled on Friday due to a minor surgical procedure. The turmoil inside the Democratic caucus will be discussed by former Democratic National Committee Chair Howard Dean on "Face the Nation" while outgoing Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chair Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) appears on "Fox News Sunday."
"This Week" holds a rare debate and discussion between the prime minister of the Palestinian Authority, Salam Fayyad, and Israeli opposition leader and former foreign minister, Tzipi Livni.
And on Saturday at 9 p.m., FOX News will air "FOX News Reporting: 36 Days That Decided The Presidency." The special, hosted by Bret Baier takes an in-depth look at the 36 days in the 2000 election when George W. Bush and Al Gore where separated by only a few votes. The special includes firsthand accounts from James Baker and David Boies.
