Stephen Crowley/The New York Times Following the revelation of May?s disappointing job numbers, the Sunday shows are almost single-mindedly focused on the economy this week. The White House is sending Austan Goolsbee, chairman of President Obama?s Council of Economic Advisers, to be its representative in the discussion on ABC?s ?This Week? and CNN?s ?State of the Union.?
Martin Regalia, chief economist at the United States Chamber of Commerce, will also give his take on the economy on ABC, while former Congressional Budget Office director Douglas Holtz-Eakin and former Office of Management and Budget director Alice M. Rivlin will join the conversation on CNN.
With the unemployment rate at 9.1 percent and the 2012 presidential election gearing up, the sluggish economy is likely to be a major campaign issue. Representative Ron Paul, Republican of Texas, will be on CNN to talk about the federal budget and his own bid for the presidency, and ABC will feature Herman Cain, the Republican presidential candidate and former chief executive of Godfather?s Pizza.
Also on ABC: Marwan Muasher, former foreign minister of Jordan and vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, on the crisis in Syria.
Fresh from her ?One Nation? bus tour, former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska will give an exclusive interview on ?Fox News Sunday.? On the agenda: the economy, plus the East Coast sweep that has left many wondering if she?ll dip her toes in the 2012 presidential pool after all.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi will weigh in on the debt limit on CBS?s ?Face the Nation,? while Gov. Haley Barbour, Republican of Mississippi, who opted out of the 2012 presidential race, will talk about Republican prospects for the election.
Representative Sander M. Levin, the top Democrat on the House Ways and Means Committee, will appear on C-Span?s ?Newsmakers? to address tackling the debt and the cost of Medicare.
TV One?s ?Washington Watch? will have its eye on rising unemployment, examining how global markets can create American jobs and lending to small businesses can stimulate the economy, as well as the political tensions between Mr. Obama and Congress. Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, United States Trade Representative Ron Kirk and Frank Keating, president and chief executive of the American Bankers Association, will be on the show.
Meanwhile, Univision?s ?Al Punto? will feature former President Antonio Saca of El Salvador, who will share his observations on Sunday?s Peruvian presidential election, and Cesar Gaviria, former president of Colombia and member of the Global Commission on Drug Policy, who will discuss the commission?s recommendation that certain drugs be legalized to fight drug cartels.
Univision will also recognize the 30th anniversary of the acknowledgement of the AIDS epidemic with guests Guillermo Chacon of the Latino Commission on AIDS and Daniel Leyva, who has lived with the disease for 16 years.
NBC?s ?Meet the Press? will not air this week due to coverage of the French Open.
