George Wenschhof Bio

Remember to check your local listings for time and channel - Enjoy.

Walter Cronkite, the legendary CBS News Anchor who passed away Friday evening at the age of 92 will certainly be a topic of discussion Sunday morning.

NBC "Meet The Press" - David Gregory will discuss health care reform with HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. The Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnelll (R-Ky.) will surely continue with the "Party of No" refrain.

The roundtable discussion will have John Harwood, Paul Gigot, Michelle Norris, and Richard Wolffe.

ABC "This Week" - No show this week - Coverage of British Open.

CBS "Face The Nation" - Bob Schieffer will welcome Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) who will most likely discuss the Sotomayor confirmation hearing. Also appearing is Representative Charles Rangel (D-NY) who have spent close to one million over the last year defending himself on ethics charges. Then, it is RNC chair Michael Steele. Let's see what spin he uses to put a happy face on the Republican Party which has been in disarray ever since the 2008 election.

Fox News Sunday - Chris Wallace will discuss health care reform costs with OMB Director Peter Orzag. Also appearing is senator Judd Gregg (R-NH) - remember him? He was the guy President Obama nominated for Commerce Secretary who backed out shortly thereafter and voted against the Stimulus bill. Now, he is not running for reelection - good!

CNN "State of The Union" - John King will also discuss the cost of health care reform with Peter Orzag. The Sotomayor confirmation hearing will be discussed with Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and the ranking Republican on the committee, Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.). I met Senator Leahy when I worked on the Howard Dean campaign for president and found him to come across as very unassuming, yet you knew he was very smart.

CNN "Fareed Zakaria GPS" - Always a very informative hour, this week Fareed Zakaria has Rwandan President Paul Kagame. Also appearing will be two scholars; David Kilcullen and Andrew Bacevich, discussing the Afghanistan conflict and NATO involvement.
