We’ll also discuss how President Barack Obama’s right-hand man on national security is settling into his new role.
Then, the response from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. We’ll discuss the latest on national security and the GOP’s efforts to rebrand the Party.
Plus, joining me to discuss the release of the bank stress tests, the Obama administration’s budget, health care and all of this week’s politics, our "This Week" Roundtable: ABC’s George Will, Cokie Roberts, Sam Donaldson, and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich.

Can you please ask him why doesn’t he remove the state secrets privilege that was abused by the Bush administration in the Sibel Edmonds case. They classified her date of birth! And ask him if he will allow the case to proceed since it’s in the national seccurity interests of the US to uncover bribery and espionage in Congress that’s alleged and according to the Justice Dept own Inspector General is substantiated.

George, Please ask General Jones or Senator McCain about the possibility that we start thinking as a world people about spending our resources to provide economic opportunity universally in order to reduce the trend toward the self-destructive population growth which we see being spurred by poverty. Ask if we can fund this effort at species survival by not spending 1/2 the yearly budget of the US on the military and militarism. Ask if the Obama education reform will include teaching international cooperation and compassion for human kind instead of nationalism and reliance on militarism as the answer to security and survival.

Here’s a really wild and outrageous notion.
Universal health care.
Somehow the one policy that would have the most to do with family values and would actually be the most family friendly has been relabeled as socialism and flogged by the family values crowd. The democrats, likewise, are ignoring it in favor of further enriching and empowering the insurance companies.
The current list of 10 world’s happiest places to live ALL have universal health care. Every industrialized nation and even the emerging nations have universal health care. Please note that’s universal health care not universal health insurance.
They spend less on health care than we do. They’re happier and presumably less stressed than we are. I believe they also live longer now than we do.
Isn’t it time we took serious steps to implementing universal health care for Americans?

George….Could you ask Senator McCain if he’s had any of his 7 houses foreclosed on or any of his 13 cars repossessed before you get into rebranding the GOP.
