Sunday Morning "Talking Heads" Lineup

George Wenschhof

Expect plenty of discussion of "Fast and Furious" as Republican Representative Darrell Issa (Calf.) appears on three of the morning political talk shows.  As chair of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Issa has been working hard to interject this story into the president election.  The committee vote last week along party lines to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt, resulted in the President invoking executive privilege in regard to the release of documents requested by Issa.

Jobs, the economy and the deficit, education and health care remain the top interests of voters, so we will see where this inquiry goes between now and November. The House is expected to vote on the contempt charge against Holder this week.

Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) will appear on NBC "Meet The Press".  Florida is a must win state for Mitt Romney and Rubio is among those under consideration for his V.P. pick.

The executive action taken by President Obama to end the deportation of children of undocumented children will also receive plenty of attention on the morning shows.

Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, who is also chair of the Democratic Governors Association will be on Bloomberg TV "Political Capital".

The recent shooting down of a Turkish jet by Syria should receive attention this Sunday, as this action will surely impact what is already a volatile situation in Syria and the region.
