NBC "Meet The Press" - David Gregory snags the headliner of the day as he sits down for the full hour with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. She has just returned to the U.S. after a trip to India and Thailand. Plenty of foreign policy issues to discuss ranging from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars to Iran, the Middle East, North Korea, and Russia.

There were reports out a week ago that Hillary Clinton was upset with the Obama administration with the time being taken on background checks prior to hiring of staff she wanted to bring on board. In addition, rumors have been circulating she was upset because she was not receiving the attention in foreign policy that was being given to the president and vice president. Let's see if David Gregory brings any of this up in his discussion with her.

Also expect her thoughts on the Obama administration efforts for health care reform. She spearheaded the last serious effort at reform during the first term of her husband Bill Clinton. She suffered an embarrassing defeat and certainly knows first hand how tough health care reform is in Congress.

ABC "This Week" - after a week off due to coverage of the British Open, George Stephanopoulos wades into the health care reform debate with Senators Kent Conrad (D-NC) and Jim DeMint (R-SC).

The roundtable discussion will include Donna Brazile, George Will, Paul Krugman, David Brooks and Arriana Huffington.

CBS "Face The Nation" - Bob Schieffer will welcome David Axelrod; White House Senior Adviser, Gov. Bobby Jindal (R-La) and Rep. Jim Cooper (D-Tenn). Let's see if Schieffer brings up the "police acted stupidly" comments made by President Obama pertaining to the arrest of an African-American professor in his own house by a white police sergeant from Cambridge. President Obama has since invited both the professor and the police sergeant to the White House.

Fox News Sunday - Chris Wallace will have as his guest White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.).

The discussion panel will include Bill Kristol, Brit Hume, Mara Liasson and Juan Williams.

CNN "State of The Union" - John King also has White House Senior Adviser David Axelrod. Joining Axelrod as guests will be House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calf.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.)

CNN "Fareed Zakaria GPS" - always an informative hour, this week Fareed Zakaria will have a panel with guests Nouriel Roubini, Niall Ferguson and Mort Zukerman who will discuss the current status of the economy. Zakaria is also expected to discuss the current situation in Iran from someone inside the country.

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.
