This Week (5.20.12) Podcast

In this week’s episode, another political showdown could be brewing in Washington where President Obama and Democrats in congress are negotiating with Republicans over budget priorities. Republicans are calling for all debt limit increases to be matched dollar-for-dollar by spending cuts, and Democrats are pushing back. ABC’s George Stephanopoulos spoke with Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi about the national debt debate. Finally, at the political roundtable, political contributor George Will, political commentator Donna Brazile, Matthew Dowd, radio talk show host Laura Ingraham, and California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom discussed the debt debate and the latest in the race for the White House.
