Previewing The Sunday Shows
This weekend we will see political programming zero in on the battle brewing in Congress over the budget. NBC's "Meet the Press" will talk with White House chief of staff Bill Daley about whether President Obama will play "deal-maker-in-chief" and compromise with the Republican-led House. Daley will also discuss the situation in Libya. "Meet" will speak with Tea Party Caucus head Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) about what she expects from her Republican leadership in the House during budget negotiations. Host David Gregory will also get her thoughts on the 2012 Republican presidential field.
CBS' "Face the Nation" discusses the escalating violence in Libya with Senate Foreign Relations Chair John Kerry (D-Mass.) and then turns to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to discuss how Senate Republicans plan to deal with the budget negotiations.
Over on cable, "FOX News Sunday" interviews Westboro Baptist Church attorney Margie Phelps following the controversial Supreme Court ruling this week. Then, host Chris Wallace discusses the continuing resolution and whether a compromise with Republicans on the budget is possible with Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas). "State of the Union" will sit down with Reps. Peter King (R-N.Y.) and Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) to discuss the Congressional hearings on the radicalization of Muslim Americans.
