If its Sunday, Its Meet the Press Sunday February 20, 2011


Exclusive! Durbin, Graham

President Obama unveils his budget but comes under fire from Republicans for not being bold enough and from his own party for making the wrong cuts at the wrong time. As the debate heats up, Mr. Obama pleads for patience while Congress scrambles to come up with a plan to fund the government past March 4. Will there be a government shutdown or will lawmakers come to an agreement on spending? Assistant Majority Leader Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) and member of the Senate Budget Committee, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) join us for an exclusive interview.


Exclusive! Amb. Rice

Also this Sunday: How will the wave of protests in the Middle East affect U.S. policy? What does the unrest mean for America’s allies in the region? The United States ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, joins us 

Sunday's Roundtable: 
Granholm, Ford, Gillespie, Santelli

Cash-strapped states are taking heat over drastic belt-tightening budget cuts. Union members take to the streets in protest and legislators walk out in Wisconsin. Will other states follow? And how will the budget battle in Washington play out? What does it say for the political roadmap in 2012? Was the president's omission of entitlement reform in his new budget a failure of presidential leadership or a political power play? Joining us: Former governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm (D); former congressman from Tennessee, Harold Ford (D); Republican strategist, Ed Gillespie; and CNBC's Rick Santelli.
