ABC This Week-John Boehner
As the congressional supercommittee wrestles with its assignment of reducing the deficit, can Washington get beyond the blame game? New unemployment numbers show sluggish jobs growth, but will partisan politics derail any chance of Republicans and Democrats coming together to create jobs?

And with a year until voters select the next president, what does the nation's top Republican think of the candidates running for his party's nomination?

Then, the race for the Republican nomination takes a scandalous turn. After surging to the top of the GOP field, Herman Cain comes under fire after sexual harassment claims from the past resurface. But will the new revelations hurt his standing in the polls?

Our powerhouse roundtable, with George Will, political strategist Matthew Dowd, Arianna Huffington of the Huffington Post and Niall Ferguson, author of "Civilization," debates the fallout for the Cain campaign and the rest of the Republican field.

And as a Greek referendum puts the entire global economy at risk, can a fiscal catastrophe be averted? Will the crisis cripple the American recovery and plunge the world back into recession? That, and all the week's political and economic news on the "This Week" roundtable.

How will he position himself against his chief rival, fellow former governor Mitt Romney? What role does his Mormon faith play in this election? How does he see the race?

Will Herman Cain emerge from the current controversy unscathed and how will the unfolding drama affect the rest of the Republican field? Plus, President Obama’s re-election hopes hinge on the economy, can he position himself and convince voters that he needs another four years. Joining us, two prominent voices in their parties, 2008 presidential candidate, Fmr. Governor Bill Richardson, and former RNC Chairman, Governor Haley Barbour

Fareed Zakaria GPS-This week on GPS: Pervez Musharraf on Pakistani nuclear weapons, plus Bill Gates and Arne Duncan on education

On Fareed Zakaria GPS this Sunday, new and deeply worrying concerns about the safety of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. An explosive article in the Atlantic makes the case that Pakistan is moving about its nuclear materials in unsecured vans to prevent Washington from swooping on them, a-la the Osama bin Laden raid. But in doing so, those nukes are now more vulnerable to terrorists. Fareed Zakaria gets the story from the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg

What is Pakistan’s response? As the former President and Army Chief for nearly a decade, Pervez Musharraf is uniquely placed to shed light on these allegations.

All that, plus interviews with billionaire Bill Gates and Education Secretary Arne Duncan on how to fix America’s education system.

This Sunday, a Fareed Zakaria GPS primetime special – “Restoring the American Dream: Fixing Education”. The show airs at 8p and 11p ET/PT

5. Ron Paul on Fox? RW fantasy right there.

And at least Steny Hoyer will be on CSPAN and two Democrats on the black-oriented TV One channel. And CNN giving Gates and Duncan more time to spew their lies? Ugh no wonder I quit watching Sunday shows unless a politician/writer I support is on. CSPAN's Newsmakers is shown on tape delay, and the Hoyer interview is already online.
