Sunday Morning "Talking Heads" 11-23-2008

George Wenschhof

The Obama-Biden Transition and the economy will dominate Sunday morning with perhaps a little foreign policy sprinkled in the discussion.

Rising unemployment, the big three auto maker's meltdown and a Dow at 8000 are all continued signs of recession in the U.S. so expect all three to be mentioned.

The not so leak proof Obama-Biden Transition effort will also be talked about as the rumor mill in D.C. goes wild speculating on cabinet appointments.

On the foreign policy front; Al Qaeda 2nd in command Ayman al-Zawahri reportedly posted on the Internet criticisms of President-elect Barack Obama, Iraq's cabinet approved a security agreement with the U.S. and Russian President Medvedev made ominous statements pertaining to the Bush administration plan to deploy missiles in countries near Russia as part of a defensive shield.

Here is the lineup - check local listings for time and channel.

NBC "Meet The Press" - Senator Joe Lieberman (I-Conn), former Secretary of State James Baker and former Commerce Secretary William Daily. The roundtable will include Eugene Robinson, Chuck Todd, Erin Burnett, and Paul Ingrassia.
