Does Meet The Press Read Capital Gains and Games?

White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew will be making his first appearance on Meet The Press as COS tomorrow, the day before the Obama fiscal 2013 budget will be released. Lew will also be on all of the other Sunday talk shows.

The budget, which as OMB director was Lew's responsibility, will be one of the prime topics.

I hate to say I told you so but here's what I said on CG&G two weeks ago about the likely guests on the Sunday talk shows that would air on February 12:

...the days that elapse between the (GOP) primar(ies) and the following Sundays will make it hard for the se shows and the rest of the weekend coverage to focus just on that story. That will leave a big opening for the impending news of the fiscal 2013 budget that the administration will be releasing.

Just-named White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew, who as OMB director was responsible for putting the fiscal 2013 proposal together, will be especially hard for talk-show producers to ignore.
